Flash CS5.5 camera.requestPermission crash on Androids pixel 2,4 & 6 - (AIR 50.2.3.4 & 50.2.4.4)

[kingbaggot]

Android build crashes when initially requestingPermission, then works fine on restart. Obvs, GooglePlay are rejecting it for that. The permission pop-up does appear on initial launch.

Steps to Reproduce

Build the swf in FlashCS5.5 - replacing the new SDK where necessary in the Adobe/Flash air2.6 folder. Build from the command line from my bat file. Apk created fine. Code as below. Tested on pixels 2,4, & 6. No known workarounds :(

You need to edit your app descriptor (application.xml) to tell android you use the camera

<android> 
      <manifestAdditions> 
      <![CDATA[ 
      <manifest> 
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />  
      </manifest> 
      ]]> 
      </manifestAdditions> 
</android>

thanks for the reply - unfortunately I already had that permission in my manifest. It's fine once it's run the second time after crashing on popping up the permission request on the first run.

Is anyone else having this issue with the camera on Flash ?
