Hi,
I created a Sample app with Ionic Starter:
https://github.com/hembachrterran/sample-cap-camera-app

I found the Camera error "Unable to create photo on disk" caused by I removed these lines from AndroidManifest.xml to use a Cordova Document Scanner plugin (due to a manifest merge problem):

<provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/file_paths"></meta-data>
</provider>

You can check this case in the sample app.

The other problem that the promptLabelHeader is missing from the promt is still exists.

Yeah, you need the document provider, otherwise the plugin doesn't work.

About the promptLabelHeader, it's documented that it's iOS only, same as promptLabelCancel
https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/camera#cameraoptions

If you update to Capacitor 3-rc.1 and use @capacitor/camera plugin it was implemented there
