@sommistica

The following error only seems to happen on Android 11. After imagepicker.present() and selecting an image from external storage the selection is empty. When picking an image from internal storage everything works as expected.

Setup and code:
I have tried with the following confuriations:
Image picker 2.0.2, and 3.0.0

/// 1
android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (and manually giving the app /// full permission) "

requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
///

//// 2
android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
////

/// 3
android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO
///

And
public pickImage(options?: OptionsCommon, hostView?: View): Promise {
// Create image picker
const p = imagePicker.create({
mode: 'single',
maximumNumberOfSelection: 1,
mediaType: ImagePickerMediaType.Image,
}, hostView); // Hostview is important to render on top of a modal

// Authorization is required (allow app to ...)
return p.authorize()
  .then(() => p.present()) // Present the imagepicker
  .then((selection) => {
    console.log(selection);
    const imagePickerSelection = selection[0];
    return Promise.all([Promise.resolve(imagePickerSelection.asset), isIOS ?
      ImageSource.fromAsset(imagePickerSelection.asset) : null]);
  })
  .then((f: [ImageAsset, ImageSource]) => this.processPickedImage(f, options))
  .catch(reason => Promise.reject(this.processPickingFailure(reason)));

}

on any other device then android 11, or when selecting from internal storage the console.log() prints the selection as expected.
When picking from external storage, and only on android 11 there is no selection.
