Android 18 removes automatic URI permission grants for ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intents. openDeviceCamera and createCameraIntent already granted write permission for the FileProvider output URI but not read, which the camera app also needs. RMET-5241

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Tested here, looks good, no longer get warning related to implicit intents in logcat with any of the camera methods. Approved!
Leaving a comment which is unrelated to your PR, but if you'd like to fix it here, I think it's fair to do.
Also: While testing I found an unrelated minor issue that I think we can merge and release together with this one: #18 if you'd like to do a quick 👀

Description
openDeviceCameraandcreateCameraIntentlaunchACTION_IMAGE_CAPTUREwith a FileProvidercontent://URI inEXTRA_OUTPUT, but only granted write permission on it (FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION). Added the missingFLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSIONalongside it. Also bumped the library version to 1.0.2.Context
Android 18 removes automatic URI permission grants for
ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTUREintents — apps must now explicitly request both read and write access, or the camera app silently fails to write the captured photo back into the URI.More info: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/behavior-changes-all#restrict-implicit-uri-grants
