Thanks for the report @rohansohonee1
Without a concrete reproducible code, it'll be tough to make this issue actionable.
Looking at the error log, it may be related to how the manifest file is setup and could be misconfigure, but this is just my guess.
Maybe check this SO link and see if it helps in your case or not.

This provider tag is implemented by image_picker library. See here https://github.com/flutter/packages/blob/main/packages/image_picker/image_picker_android/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

The manifest file has the following:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent>
</queries>
