Additional information
Aperture launches a MediaStore.ACTION_REVIEW intent when on Android 10 and above, which translates to android.provider.action.REVIEW, that is notably absent from AndroidManifest.xml or the codebase at large, hence the app not launching when it should.
Probably should be handled just like you do with com.android.camera.action.REVIEW.
As per the linked Aperture code, it should switch to Intent.ACTION_VIEW when MediaStore.ACTION_REVIEW fails to find any matching activities. As a result, Fossify Gallery only shows up when there's no other app that can handle MediaStore.ACTION_REVIEW.
EDIT: Removed question.

I do not have another gallery app that handles the intent, but I do have App Manager and its intent interceptor listening to everything; that's what gets opened instead.
That said, presence of another gallery/handler app is no excuse to not implement handling in Fossify Gallery, as it's otherwise expected you would be able to open it for previews in any app launching a android.provider.action.REVIEW intent, be they executing a fallback to Intent.ACTION_VIEW or not.
Can confirm. I don't have another gallery installed, but the editor Image Toolbox gets opened instead of gallery
In experiencing the same issue due to the lack of intent handling, both on lineage os, where intent intercept is always opened, (but if I disable it the cera properly falls back to action view), and with the stock Samsung camera, where it simply doesn't fall back at all this making it impossible to open the gallery from the camera app.
