Looks like there is an issue with the permissions you have the app to access the storage, so please check these.

Regardless I guess the app shouldn't crash completely if the permission to access the storage is denied, but handle it gracefully...

Thanks for the solution but I Cross checked & allowed storage permission but still the app crashes. I can't figure out anything to fix the bug/issue.
