Describe the bug
When any third party app needs to use the camera, the action in them that would open the camera doesn't work.
It might be either of these two:

  1. LibreCamera isn't recognized as the default camera app, and no other app is available.
  2. LibreCamera starts but crashes. Although there is no black screen or no hint

Other Information:

  • App version 1.9.1
  • Device: Nokia TA-1157
  • OS: Android 11

Witnessed in Discord, Signal, Champignouf… and a good bunch of other apps.

Unfortunately this is a "security feature" that google introduced with android 11.

For details see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71338593/action-image-capture-how-to-whitelist-a-different-camerapp-in-android-11-and-la and k3b/CameraFolder#5
