   Just wanted to clarify that ProGuard should be disabled unless you know what you're doing. ProGuard adds a layer of protection to your app against reverse engineering. It does so by obfuscating your compiled code, mangling symbol names, etc... which can break stuff, especially in Cordova where it relies on dynamic references by string names. In this case, I was worried it was breaking the manifest mapping.
   
   > why is the request amount 0? it should request more than zero permissions right?
   
   I believe that's just simply a side effect of the full error:
   
   ```
   FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.newsolutions.checkware2, PID: 14859
   java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result
   ResultInfo{who=@android:requestPermissions:, request=0, result=-1, data=Intent {
    act=android.content.pm.action.REQUEST_PERMISSIONS (has extras) }}
    to activity {com.newsolutions.checkware2/com.newsolutions.checkware2.MainActivity}: 
   
   java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Couldn't find meta-data for provider with authority com.newsolutions.checkware2.cordova.plugin.camera.provider 
   ```
   
   The main error is `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Couldn't find meta-data for provider with authority com.newsolutions.checkware2.cordova.plugin.camera.provider`
