[Bug] MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync can't capture image on Android 4.4

[stalexig]

Description

On Android 4.4 when I try to capture image with the MediaPicker.CapturePhotoAsync() method, the camera opens, I can take a photo, but than the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped" appears and CapturePhotoAsync method returns null.

In android manifest I have set all required permissions:

• android.permission.CAMERA
• android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
• android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

In Logcat I found the following error message:
