I am attaching the code below. I am inverting an camera on click of a button starting the camera on view created of an fragment and click image on click of a button.

//used for inverting the camera.
private fun invertCamera() {
        cameraSelector = if (cameraSelector == CameraSelector.DEFAULT_FRONT_CAMERA) {
            CameraSelector.DEFAULT_BACK_CAMERA
        } else {
            CameraSelector.DEFAULT_FRONT_CAMERA
        }
        //start the camera again..
        startCamera()
    }

private fun startCamera() {

        val processCameraProvider =
            ProcessCameraProvider.getInstance(requireActivity().applicationContext)

        val aspectRatioStrategy = AspectRatioStrategy.RATIO_4_3_FALLBACK_AUTO_STRATEGY

        processCameraProvider.addListener({
            try {
                cameraProvider = processCameraProvider.get()
                imageCapture = ImageCapture.Builder()
                    .setCaptureMode(CAPTURE_MODE_MINIMIZE_LATENCY)
                    .setResolutionSelector(ResolutionSelector.Builder()
                        .setResolutionStrategy(ResolutionStrategy( Size(800,600),
                            ResolutionStrategy.FALLBACK_RULE_CLOSEST_LOWER_THEN_HIGHER))
                        .setAspectRatioStrategy(aspectRatioStrategy).build())
                    .build()
                val previewUseCase =
                    Preview.Builder().build()
                previewUseCase.setSurfaceProvider(binding.cameraView.surfaceProvider)
                cameraProvider?.unbindAll()
                cameraProvider?.bindToLifecycle(this, cameraSelector, previewUseCase)
            } catch (e: IOException) {
                Log.d("Sunny", "Error$e")
            }
        }, ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(requireActivity().applicationContext))

        if (imagePath != "" && firstTimePhoto){
            firstTimePhoto = false
            binding.imagePreview.isVisible = true
            binding.captureImage.text = "Upload"
            Picasso.get().load(FILE_UPLOAD +imagePath).into(binding.imagePreview)
            binding.captureAgain.isVisible = true
        }
    }

private fun captureImage() {

        val imageCapture = imageCapture ?: return

        cameraProvider?.bindToLifecycle(this, cameraSelector, imageCapture)

        imageCapture.takePicture(ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(requireActivity().applicationContext),
            object : ImageCapture.OnImageCapturedCallback() {
                @ExperimentalGetImage
                override fun onCaptureSuccess(image: ImageProxy) {
                    super.onCaptureSuccess(image)
                    //get bitmap from image and handle rotation...
                    val capturedImageBitmap =
                        image.image?.toBitmap()?.rotate(image.imageInfo.rotationDegrees.toFloat())

                    //unbind camera ....
                    cameraProvider?.unbindAll()
                    binding.imagePreview.isVisible = true

                    //rotation handled...
                    binding.imagePreview.setImageBitmap(capturedImageBitmap?.let { flip(it) })
                    //validate from python api...
                    if (capturedImageBitmap != null) {
                        validateUserImage(capturedImageBitmap)
                    }
                    image.close()
                }

                override fun onError(exception: ImageCaptureException) {
                    super.onError(exception)
                    Log.d("Sunny", "$exception")
                }
            })
    }

I am unable to understand why this error occurs as I am unable to replicate it. It exits of various devices according to firebase crashlytics.
