Description

I have a large App that was running at Xamarin Forms 4.0 and Android 9.0. I updated the software to Forms 5.0.0.2083 and Android 10.0 and the Capture_Image quit. I created a small App with only the camera setup, but get the same results. I have tried both MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync and CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoASync. I have looked over the different forums and tried what is listed, but can not find a solution.

Steps to Reproduce

1. See attached zip file with App

Expected Behavior

When the Take button is clicked, Camera should open to allow for picture to be taken.

Actual Behavior

If using Crossmedia, get this error:
"No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE flg=0x3 clip={text/uri-list U:content://com.companyname.app1.fileprovider/my_images/IMG_20210916_104748.jpg} (has extras) }"

if using MediaPicker, get this error:
"Either there was no camera on the device or 'android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE' was not added to the element in the app's manifest file. See more: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/package-visibility"

I have 2 identical Samsung SM-T387V with the same update history, one gets the error and the other work as it is supposed to.

I had the same issue on a phone with android 11.0, I added the following lines to AndroidManifest.xml which seems to have resolved the issue (please note the single quotes should be removed as they are there to allow the xml to be displayed):
<queries'>
<intent'>
<action android:name="android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE" '/>
</intent'>
<intent'>
<action android:name="android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" '/>
</intent'>
</queries'>

I have tried that, but still have one unit that works and one that errors out.

Here is an interesting discovery. The tablet that would not use the camera before, I did a Factory reset on. Then I loaded Applications that use the camera. They all work now. This tells me the problem is in the Android OS or some update/permission change. Has anyone else observed this?

Is there any update on this? Is it going to be resolved soon? I have tried many solutions but none of them are working. It seems issue is not from library but if someone has any solution, let me know.

Well this worked for me. But pay attention, there is a ' at the end ;)

For copy pasta:

<queries>
    <intent>
        <action android:name="android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" />
    </intent>
</queries>

You also may need to reinstall the application.
