This repo aim to provide explanation, discussion and cross-project workaround ideas for the React Native issue #30277.
Bug:
Android ReactActivity destroy prevents successful onActivityResult calls for any native android module. This is the case when opening the camera using the android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE intent, and in some case even the file picker.
Details about this can be found on the issue by zsweigart on RN repo #30277.
