   This plugin likely doesn't handle API 29/30 changes to external storage. There should be potential two workarounds for the time being:
   
   1. Target API 29 and add `requestLegacyExternalStorage` flag to the `AndroidManifest.xml` file
   
   Adding this to your `config.xml` should work:
   
   ```xml
   <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
       <application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" />
   </edit-config>
   ```
   
   **Note**: `requestLegacyExternalStorage` is ignored on API 30.
   
   2. Fork this plugin and apply the PR https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/684
   This solution should work for both API 29 and API 30.
