   ### The gallery works after I added the following permission in the config.xml:
   ```
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
   ```
   
   ### However, the camera is still not working:
   
   `Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser android.content.pm.PackageItemInfo.loadXmlMetaData(android.content.pm.PackageManager, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference`
   
   At first, the initial try on opening the camera asked the user for permission, then it crashes the app. When you re-enter the app and tried to open the camera again, it throws the above error, which is same as @GuiF007 's issue.
   
   ### Adding the following code suggested aboveto config.xml did not fix my issue:
   ```
   <config-file mode="merge" parent="application" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
       <provider android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="org.apache.cordova.camera.FileProvider">
           <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/camera_provider_paths" />
       </provider>
   </config-file>
   ```
   
   ### Here's my ionic info
   ```
   Ionic:
      ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.10.2
      Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.3
      @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.2
   
   Cordova:
      cordova (Cordova CLI) : 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)
      Cordova Platforms     : android 8.1.0, ios 5.0.1
   ```
   
   Has anyone found a fix for this yet? Thanks for your help.
