Issue Capturing Images in Ionic Framework on Certain Android Devices

Question

I'm encountering an issue with image capturing functionality in my Ionic Framework project, specifically on certain Android devices. Here's the relevant function:
async captureImage(imageType: string) {
console.log("imageType ##", imageType);

// Create a loader
const loader = await this.loadingCtrl.create({
message: 'Capturing image...',
});

// Present the loader
await loader.present();

this.camera.getPicture(this.cameraOptions).then((imageData) => {
// imageData is either a base64 encoded string or a file URI
// If it's base64 (DATA_URL):
let base64Image = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,' + imageData;

// Update the appropriate property in registrationData based on imageType
if (imageType === 'passportPhoto') {
this.registrationData.passportPhoto = base64Image;
this.updateForm.get('passportPhoto')?.setValue(base64Image);
} else if (imageType === 'signature') {
this.registrationData.signature = base64Image;
this.updateForm.get('signature')?.setValue(base64Image);
} else if (imageType === 'frontId') {
this.registrationData.frontId = base64Image;
this.updateForm.get('frontId')?.setValue(base64Image);
} else if (imageType === 'backId') {
this.registrationData.backId = base64Image;
this.updateForm.get('backId')?.setValue(base64Image);
}

console.log('Form control value ###', this.updateForm.get(imageType)?.value);

// Dismiss the loader
loader.dismiss();

}, (err) => {
console.log(err);
// Handle error
// Dismiss the loader in case of an error
loader.dismiss();
});
}
The issue is that while this function works on some Android devices, it fails on others. I've tested it on multiple devices, and it seems to be inconsistent. Could anyone provide insights or suggestions on why this might be happening and how to address it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is that C, C++, C#, something else? Please also add a tag for whatever language that is, not just the framework.

That's nice, but the OP needs to put it in a tag.
