I’m encountering an issue when trying to take a picture using the react-native-camera library in my React Native app. The takePicture function fails with the following error:

I’m using the following code to take a picture:

const takePicture = async () => {
    if (camera) {
      try {
        await camera.resumePreview(); 
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100)); 
        const data = await camera.takePictureAsync();
        console.log('Picture taken', data);

        const image = {
          localPath: data.uri,
          imageType: vehicleImageIndex,
        };
        const updatedPictures = [...cameraPictures];
        updatedPictures[vehicleImageIndex] = image;
        setCameraPictures(updatedPictures);

        setVehicleImageIndex(prevIndex => prevIndex + 1); 

      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error taking picture: ', error);
      }
    } else {
      console.log('Camera not ready');
    }
};

I’ve tried the following to resolve the issue but to no avail:

1. Checked camera permissions in AndroidManifest.xml
2. Verified the camera object is properly initialized
3. Added a delay before calling takePictureAsync()

Has anyone faced a similar issue or has any idea how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Environment:

1. React Native version: “0.71.15”,
2. react-native-camera version: “^4.2.1”
