   Looks like API 29 requires [Scoped Locations](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes#scoped-storage)
   
   There are two current workarounds:
   
   1. Reduce the target sdk to 28, which can be done via the `android-targetSdkVersion` preference.
   2. Use the [requestLegacyExternalStorage](https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/storage#scoped-storage) flag. Which can be added using the `<edit-config>`. This flag requires you to target/compile for API 29 (the default in `cordova-android@9`)
   
   I'm not familiar with this plugin's codebase, but it looks like `MediaStore` is already used, and that's what the Android docs suggest that we need to use. So further investigation is going to be required to determine what the actual problem is.
   
   > The plugin instead throws an error on Android 10.
   
   It would be nice to know exactly what that error is, and perhaps stacktrace.
