React-native-image-picker: Android app crashes and then restarts on launching camera to take photo
In Android, taking a photo restarts the app without showing any error, however picking photos from gallery works fine.
RN: 0.48.3

Does you handle the permission ? Can you provide the crash stacktrace ?

Same issue. At first we thought that was a react-native issue, and it might be, but now we're just confused: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/16959

Ok, I found out that that's not a crash. It's the Android OS shutting all other intents, because the camera intent needs memory. DAAAMN. What can we do :S ?

@gengjiawen
for permissions, this is the AndroidManifest.xml

Solved by downgrading the version of 'react-native-camera' from 1.0.3 into 0.12.0 works for me.

I found a very efficient way to deal with this bug it seems :
Use the options maxWidth, maxHeight and/or quality to reduce the size of the pictures taken (depending on your use case, having pictures 3200x3200 might be useless). I found that for my need a 1200x1200 max + 0.9 quality works almost 100% of the time ! Hope this helps

This seems to still be a problem. In our use case we need the high res images.. I noticed there are a lot of issues for this subject. Is this being looked at at the moment or should i aggregate all issues and reopen?

At the moment I use version 1.1.0 with RN 1.59 and this problem still persists with Xiaomi Redmi 8 and Samsung devices especially, for the configuration of the photos we use this configuration
const options = {
noData: false,
title: "Select an image",
cancelButtonTitle: "Cancel",
takePhotoButtonTitle: "Camera",
chooseFromLibraryButtonTitle: "Gallery",
mediaType: "photo",
quality: 0.5,
maxWidth: 1200,
maxHeight: 1200,
storageOptions: {
skipBackup: true,
cameraRoll: false
}
}
Can someone help me with this information, how could it be solved?
Thank you

Hi,
This issue still prevails. In android 9.0 when we launchCamera using react-native-image-picker it crashes for the first time but in subsequent calls it works fine.
Tried multiple options but nothing works.
react-native version is 0.62.0
react-native-image-picker is 2.3.1
Kindly let me know if anyone is facing this issue or if someone has resolved it.
