Hi,
The app randomly crashes in ionic v3 when trying to take a picture. I’ve googled for this issue and tried various proposed solutions, with no success. Majority of them appeals to include correct information in AndroidManifest.xl, regarding to provider tag, but I think this part is ok.
The crash log is:
}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=34, result=-1, data=null} to activity {io.ionic.starter/io.ionic.starter.MainActivity}: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser android.content.pm.ProviderInfo.loadXmlMetaData(android.content.pm.PackageManager, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

I’ve created a blank ionic v4 app, and also I’m having the same issue. Sometimes the picture is taked, and sometimes the app is crashing, really strange
The log references to Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser, but the xml file referenced by AndroidManifest.xml are present, and this issue is not always present, sometimes the device can take a picture, sometimes not!
Any ideas? The strange thing is that the app is crashing with a fresh new app…
