This has happened with this file: https://archive.org/details/macbook-isight-webcam-linux
and with version:
isight-firmware-tools (1.6-4)

Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Apple Inc. MacBookAir7,2
Intel® Core™ i5-5350U CPU @ 1.80GHz × 4

I then did:
$ sudo apt remove isight-firmware-tools && sudo apt purge isight-firmware-tools

And reinstalled:
sudo apt install isight-firmware-tools

And when prompted instead of selecting the zip file I selected the Java File: "AppleUSBVideoSupport" as mentioned here: https://www.linux.org/threads/installing-linux-on-an-imac.26009/

The installation was succesful but the camera does not work after reboot.
