### Operating system

Android

### Joplin version

3.3.8

### Sync target

OneDrive

### What issue do you have?

I just recently had to remove and re-install Joplin. Most every thing is working. But when I attempt to take a picture it hangs up -- goes to a blank white screen. I am not able to back out of the screen and have to go into settings/apps and force Joplin to close.

I checked my Android permissions, and Joplin has full "Photos and videos" permission. But there is no "Camera" permission, so maybe this version got compiled without that permission somehow ?

If it's the F-Droid version it doesn't have a camera feature

I don't remember where I installed it from. But it does offer a camera icon.
