There is a catch already in the parent function just a throws IOException would suffice.

I install v0.16.3 but still got this problem

This is the same https://github.com/react-native-cameraroll/react-native-cameraroll/issues/402

Set the compile/target SDK to version 33 (Android 13) to recreate the error.

Thanks!

The problem with adding this code is that the library won't work on Android version < 13 anymore. So we planned to support android 13 from v2.0.0 onwards. Currently, it's available as a pre-release v2.0.0-rc.2.

UPDATE: v2.0.0 has been released with the fix
