My Ionic-based Android app throws the mysterious “Camera 20” error code each time the user taps the shutter to take a picture. No stack trace or descriptive message appears—just that numeric code and the photo never saves. I need someone who really knows the Ionic/Capacitor camera plugin on Android to trace the root cause and deliver a clean fix. What I expect from you: • Identify why the Camera 20 code fires only at the capture moment. • Apply (or advise on) the code, plugin, permission, or Gradle changes required to eliminate the crash. • Provide a brief walkthrough of the solution so I can replicate it across branches and future builds. If this sounds straightforward to you and you’ve tackled similar Android camera issues in Ionic before, let’s get it resolved quickly.

Hi, I’m Abhishek Rathore, a senior Ionic/Capacitor engineer. The “Camera 20” error on shutter tap usually points to a failure during native capture/processing—often permission, file URI, or plugin mismatch—and I can trace and fix it cleanly. ? Approach - Reproduce on a debug build with Capacitor Camera + Android logs (logcat) - Inspect Camera plugin version vs Capacitor core; align to stable combo - Trace native Android flow (CameraActivity → file write → result intent) - Validate runtime permissions (CAMERA, READ/WRITE media) for Android 12+ - Patch config (FileProvider, scoped storage, Gradle settings) ✅ Core Features - Root cause identification with exact failure point - Fix for capture + save pipeline (URI/file handling) - Permission flow correction for modern Android SDKs - Plugin/config updates if version conflict exists - Clean, reproducible fix across builds ☁️ Reliability / Performance - Use FileProvider with scoped storage (no deprecated paths) - Ensure async result handling doesn’t drop the image callback - Test across API 29–34 and multiple devices ? Deliverables - Patched code + config changes - Short walkthrough with steps to replicate - Notes for future upgrades ? Why Me Solved similar Capacitor camera failures in production apps with native-level debugging. Before I start, which Capacitor and @capacitor/camera versions are you currently on?
