You should add the permissions in the correct AndroidManifest.xml. Add the required permissions inside android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and not in any other AndroidManifest.xml

Try adding it to the following path android/app/src/AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
