Crash when trying to get Image

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to run this code

ImagePicker.pickImage(RegisterActivity.this);

But the app crashes with this error

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser android.content.pm.ProviderInfo.loadXmlMetaData(android.content.pm.PackageManager, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

Here is the full log if you need it

@git1998 Hey you are right, I was never really able to fix this issue and moved to much stabler and easier EasyImage library: https://github.com/jkwiecien/EasyImage

@git1998 @axper try this why waiting for official fix implementation 'com.github.songpr:ImagePicker:e2b4383' I’ve been using this instead for 9 months already
