Xamarin Forms Android - crash while taking photo without exception

Xamarin Forms Android crashes while taking photo without exception. But this happens in like 65% of tries. Sometimes app doesn't crash and I can take photo normally. On other phone(same model) application crashes every time I want to take photo.

I'm using https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin like this:

if (!CrossMedia.Current.IsCameraAvailable)
        {
            DisplayAlert("No Camera", ":( No camera avaialble.", "OK");
            return;
        }

        var file = await CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(new Plugin.Media.Abstractions.StoreCameraMediaOptions
        {
            Directory = "Sample",
            Name = "testPO.jpg"
        });

        if (file == null)
            return;

        DisplayAlert("File Location", file.Path, "OK");

Camera loads without problem, but when I press "Take photo" button application crashes and debugging in Visual Studio stops without any exception.

Thank you for any help.

I realize this is old but in case someone stumbles across this issue in the future: I've had this issue and it ended up being the NoHistory flag in MainActivity.cs being set to true.

Remove NoHistory = true or set NoHistory = false to avoid the crash.

eg:

[Activity(Label = "MyApp", Icon = "@mipmap/icon", Theme = "@style/MainTheme", ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation, NoHistory = false)]
public class MainActivity : FormsAppCompatActivity {
    //...
}
