Hello, I try to take a picture, crop it and than upload it. Unfortunately by the crop step my app crashes on this device. On newer devices it works perfectly. Here is the stack trace from the Google preview report

Is there any code involved?

home.component.ts

public onTakePicture() {
        requestPermissions().then(
            () => {
                takePicture({width: 150, height: 150, keepAspectRatio: true, saveToGallery: false, allowsEditing: false, cameraFacing: 'front'})

            });
    }

@mailiam minimum api level for the latest version of this plugin is 21

Older version (1.x) of this plugin did support API 19, but that version doesn't work with {N} 6, You might want to try other android cropping libs and conditionally use that in case of API 19

You might want to try other android cropping libs and conditionally use that in case of API 19

Can you provide another one here? I only found this one.

[shiv19]

Look for it on Android arsenal

[Mafick]

... not very helpful ... I also need this feature for ios, so make it sense to use another android lib here?

[shiv19]

You can use this cropper for ios and android. Except for android api level below 21

What I'm asking you to do is to look for a android cropping lib on Android arsenal that you can use in android api level 20 and below.

[Mafick]

And how I handle than my ios use cases?

[shiv19]

This plugin will handle ios and android for you. I'm asking you to use a different lib conditionally just for android api 19.
