Ionic Camera Photo library email attachment issue

Hello guys, i am having an issue with attaching images to the email using email composer. The issue is only on android and with only photo library. When i try to attach image with gmail client, i get error saying “cannot attach image with size zero or unknown”. Below is the code

  const options: CameraOptions = {
    quality: 20,
    destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
    sourceType: this.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
    allowEdit: false,
  }
  this.camera.getPicture(options).then((imageData) => {
    if (this.platform.is('ios'))
      this.images.push(imageData);
    if (this.platform.is('android')) 
      this.images.push(imageData);
  }, (err) => {
    console.log(err.message);
  });

this is the camera code. and below is my package.json
