Current Behavior

We have seen crashes in production related to a NullPointerException on the restoreState of the CameraPlugin. The setup for the Camera is the following:

photo = await Camera.getPhoto({
          quality: 75,
          resultType: CameraResultType.Base64,
          promptLabelHeader: '...',
          promptLabelPicture: '...',
          promptLabelPhoto: '...',
          promptLabelCancel: '...',
          source: CameraSource.Prompt,
});

Expected Behavior

Able to take a photo with the camera or pick a photo with no problem.

I see the same error in production with > 100 occurences, but I'm also unable to reproduce the issue. @dnarvaez27 did you find any workaround?
