Android Error - Access denied unable to save cropped image

I have an Ionic 5/Angular app that uses the Ionic Native Camera plugin to take pictures and crop the images. The functionality worked fine until I updated to Android 11 (using note 10 plus). After the update, the following error is thrown when cropping: unable to save cropped image - access denied.

TS code:

takePicture() {
    this.androidPermissions.requestPermissions([this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, 
    this.androidPermissions.PERMISSION.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE]);

    const options: CameraOptions = {
      quality: 100,
      targetHeight: 1920,
      targetWidth: 1080,
      sourceType: 1, // CAMERA
      destinationType: 0, // DATA_URL
      encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
      correctOrientation: true,
      allowEdit: true
    };

    this.camera.getPicture(options).then((imageData) => {
     // Persist image data
    });
  }

App works fine on other devices. Also checked that my app, Gallery app and Photo Editor app has storage and camera permissions. I can take the picture and the cropper opens - after tapping on Done the message "Access Denied" is displayed followed shortly after by "Unable to save cropped image".

Crop image

Click done - Access denied error

Crop error

  1. What could be causing the error?
  2. How can I see what app is set as the default cropping app for the device?
  3. How can I clear/reset the default cropping app?

Note: I tested this on another device running Android 11 which resulted in the same error.

In my case, 'cropping image' caused this problem. So if you don't care about cropping, change 'allowEdit: true' to 'allowEdit: false'. Then the error will be removed. However, don't forget that you will not be able to crop a picture.

My best bet is, if you can, downgrading. It Did work last version, correct?
