What is it exactly? Error: vendor.camera.aux.packagelist - android-camerax

Question

Currently trying out the new CameraX. Anyone know what's the problem. I should have all the permissions needed.
Here is my entire logcat.

It clearly tries a lot, then gives up.
Given the complete lack of posts both here and on Google about it, I'm going to give you all my code.

I even tried implementing the code from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56806751/12253594 but that didn't work.

Look at this answer.
For privacy and security, the camera is not allowed to run in the background
