react-native-image-picker launchCamera in not working in android

Question

I'm using "react-native-image-picker": "^3.0.1" in react native for capture image. but I got error while opening the camera in android 9.

I got error :

{"errorCode": "others", "errorMessage": "This library does not require Manifest.permission.CAMERA, if you add this permission in manifest then you have to obtain the same."}

here is my code

ImagePicker.launchCamera(
          {
            includeBase64: false,
            mediaType: 'photo',
            quality: 0.8,
          },
          async (response) => {
            if (response.didCancel) {
              console.log('User cancelled image picker');
            } else if (response.error) {
              console.log('ImagePicker Error: ', response.error);
            } else {
              
            }
          },
        );

Before capturing image, ask camera permission to user. In Android above marshmallow version you should ask Run Time permission as well which are called dangerous permission.

const requestCameraPermission = async () => {
  try {
    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA,
      {
        title: "App Camera Permission",
        message:"App needs access to your camera ",
        buttonNeutral: "Ask Me Later",
        buttonNegative: "Cancel",
        buttonPositive: "OK"
      }
    );
    if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log("Camera permission given");
    } else {
      console.log("Camera permission denied");
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
  }
};

And then if permission granted then inside if call

ImagePicker.launchCamera
