Observation

In android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Change manifest header to avoid "Manifest merger error". After you add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" should look like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.<yourAppName>" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

Add tools:replace="android:allowBackup" in <application tag. It should look like this:

<application tools:replace="android:allowBackup" android:name=".MainApplication" android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:allowBackup="false" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Add permissions:

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