To use this package on Android without errors, follow these steps:

1. Add the following <provider> entry inside the <application> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml (android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml):

<provider
    android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
</provider>

2. Create the file provider_paths.xml at android/app/src/main/res/xml/provider_paths.xml with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <external-path
        name="external_files"
        path="." />
</paths>
