   Cannot really speak on the root issue but
   
   > Do we need to add this permission? https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#CAMERA
   
   This permission is only used for apps that uses the Camera APIs directly. This plugin does not use the Camera APIs. Instead it uses what Android calls Intents, which is to delegate the responsibility of taking an image using the camera by launching another app which **does** have the `Camera` permissions already to handle the camera operations. This is the recommended approach to use by Google and covers the needs of most apps.
   
   There is one caveat however, if the application declares that the app uses the `Camera` permission, then you must have the Camera permission to use Intents. This is a case already via:
