Is this Image Picker Plugin no longer maintained?

See original GitHub issue

I noticed that there been a lot of opened issues and no updates for couple of years now. Does it mean this plugin is no longer maintained and should be considered as dead?

I have installed this plugin and it works fine in iOS so far. However I noticed in Android the App crashes without asking for permission. I noticed there are so many issues created here already on this topic and a lot of people have created Forked version of this plugin for that issue. Therefore I have installed the Telerik-Verified-Plugins/ImagePicker fork version to resolve this issue. My concern is:

  1. This plugin has various issues especially with Android 6, 7, ios 11, etc and it has not been maintained for a long time.

  2. Most of the fork versions are unmaintained as well now-a-days.

This is such an important plugin and I am just curious, what do users use? Is it still safe to install this plugin or the forked versions? Is there another more reliable fork for this Multiple Image Picker plugin?

Avoid, it’s completely dead in Cordova Android 7. It will actually wreck your platform install if you try to use it. If you did accidentally use it. Delete your plugins folder Delete your platforms/android folder Remove the plugin from config.xml run cordova platform add android@latest

I wanted to update that mediaPicker is still being actively maintained and now supports the newest xcode modal windows. https://github.com/DmcSDK/cordova-plugin-mediaPicker I have officially switched to it for production and have had minimal, if any issues.
