What happened?

Using the 'chop chop' physical gesture to toggle the flashlight on my Motorola phone doesn't work while the app is open

How can we reproduce the bug?

  1. Have Motorola phone
  2. Enable flashlight gesture in the Moto app
  3. Test that it works outside Lichess app
  4. Open fresh Lichess installation
  5. Try it again

Expected behavior

The flashlight should toggle

Device

Motorola Moto G Power 2022

Operating system

Android 12

App version

v8.0.0

Screenshots

No response

Additional context

Problem seems to persist across different parts of the app, suggesting an issue with the framework or some other lower-level functionality. This is the only app I've noticed this issue with.

Turning on the flashlight through the tiles in the pull-down menu still works in the app, meaning it doesn't control the flashlight directly. Additionally, the phone will also vibrate when the 'chop chop' gesture is performed, but this also doesn't happen while Lichess is open.

The same issue also occurs with the other gyro-based gesture on this phone, double-twisting to open the camera, which is to say it works outside the app but not while in the app.
..Actually now that I look at it, the three-finger screenshot gesture (not gyro-based) also doesn't work while in the app. Afaik these are all moto-specific and are managed through the same app.
