> Thanks to @cyril23 . We had the same problem on a Honeywell device with Android 10. We use cordova-plugin-camera 5.0.2. Cause of the problem was the incompatibility between snapdragon camera and cordova. The open camera workaround has helped us. This workaround only works until Android 11, because Android 11 does not let you select your default camera app anymore. See https://9to5google.com/2020/08/18/android-11-default-camera-app-changes/ > On an [official issue tracker thread](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/162643544#comment6), Google confirmed (via [Android Police](https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/08/18/android-11-camera-apps-chooser/)) that Android 11 is ditching the default camera app selector. Instead of being able to download a third-party camera app from the Play Store and use that as a complete replacement, users will be stuck with whatever is pre-loaded on their device in many scenarios.
