Richard B Knoll commented on CB-10219:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for filing this issue! There is already a JIRA open for this (CB-10120),
so I'm going to close this as a duplicate. There is also a PR fixing it
[here|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/142] which is
waiting to be merged. An explanation of the problem follows:
Basically, the issue here is a quirk within Android itself. Android M
introduced runtime permissions for things like the camera. Previously, you
declared them in the app manifest and were granted them at install time. None
of this should be relevant to us because this plugin doesn't actually take
photos; it launches the native camera application which already has permission
to take photos. For that reason, we do not declare the camera permission in our
manifest and everything works fine without install time or runtime permissions.
However, for some mysterious reason, if you do declare the camera permission in
the manifest, then you suddenly do have to request permission at runtime or you
get the exception you posted (this quirk is documented
[here|https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE])
. As I mentioned, we don't declare it in the manifest. Other plugins, though,
can insert things into the manifest if they need to. Chances are you are using
a third party plugin that needs the camera and so is inserting the permission
and causing this issue.
tldr; Check out the PR and issue linked above, but if you need a quick fix you
can remove whatever other plugin in your project is requesting the camera
permission and the exception should go away. The PR has the "real" solution
that should hopefully prevent this permission collision from happening in the
future. Hope this helps!

> {code}
> When this code runs on my Asus Nexus 7 running Android 6.0 (API23) I get the
