When runtime permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is missing/denied, calling ImageCapture.takePicture hangs indefinitely. There is an error logged (in a separate process) that indicates the root cause:

```
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/images/media from pid=XXXXX, uid=XXXXX requires android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()
```

It seems that `androidx.camera` doesn't handle this error correctly, or at all.

We have some support in androidx.compose.ui.autofill

Leaving this bug open in case Ralston wants to add more info

I found an example here. One problem is that it only works with the Google autofill service. When using any other service like Microsoft Authenticator or OneKey, the following error is shown:

D/Autofill Status: Autofill popup isn't shown because autofill is not available.
    
    Did you set up autofill?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced > Autofill Service
    2. Pick a service
    
    Did you add an account?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced
    2. Click on the settings icon next to the Autofill Service
    3. Add your account

Is this a bug on your side or do the app developers of these password managers need to change their implementation?

Marked as fixed.

Another problem I am facing with autofill is that it won't save my credentials. I tried forcing to finish the context as described here, but it won't do that either although I filled in the username with the one provided by the Google autofill service.
