## [Unreleased]

### 2026-10-14

- Fix: catch the `SecurityException` thrown by `takePersistableUriPermission` in `IONCAMROpenPhotoPickerActivity` when the picker returns a URI without a persistable grant (seen on Android 11/12), so choosing from the gallery no longer crashes the app ([capacitor-camera#58](https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-camera/issues/58)).
