The image file could not be opened.

i'm using ionic framework, when i select the specified images and click ok i always get this error message "The image file could not be opened."
I checked permissions and they are ok.

For the time being, Can you give a try by forking the plugin and adding -

<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
            <application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" />
</edit-config>

in plugin.xml in after this.

Confirm if that works. So that it can be updated to actual plugin.
