Steps to reproduce the Behavior

When I debug my solution in the android emulator, I can successfully take a picture with the CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync and it doesn't crash after taking the picture and tapping on the "good or accept" symbol to proceed.

But on my physical android device [Techno Spark 4 Air (Android 9)], after taking the picture, after I tap the "good or accept" symbol to proceed, the app appears to delay for some seconds and afterwards crashes.

No errors are displayed. I even put a DisplayAlert command just after the TakePhotoAsync, but it doesn't get there. I have put everything in a try...catch routine, but the apparent issue is not being trapped.

Expected Behavior

I expect after taking the picture and tapping on the "good or accept" symbol, the app should continue to execute the code after it and not just crash. My aim is to send the photo file so created and saved as an attachment via email.

Actual Behavior

After taking a picture and tapping on the "good or accept" symbol, the app appears to delay for a few seconds and then crashes on my android testing device. It works well on the Android Emulator.

Code snippet

                    await CrossMedia.Current.Initialize();

                    var file = await CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(new StoreCameraMediaOptions
                    {
                        PhotoSize = PhotoSize.Medium,                           
                        Directory = "AAPictures",
                        Name = $"{DateTime.UtcNow}.mp4"

                    });

                    if (file == null)
                        return;
