You'd need to update react native to support Android 13. The following combination works for me.

"react-native": "0.71.3",
"react-native-image-picker": "5.2.0",

Had the same problem after upgrading to Expo SDK 48, solved it by using react-native-image-picker ^5.3.1. Note: I did not manage to get it to work with react-native-image-picker 5.2.0
