Android - Document Scanner not working from device camera

[ShaneLucy]

Describe the bug

When loading the document scanner on Android with source type set to 1, the camera loads without support for detecting document edges and after taking a picture the document scanner closes with the following error Incorrect result or user canceled the action

With source type set to 1, so that the image is being loaded from the file system, the document scanner works as expected.

3. Sync and run for android
4. Build from Android Studio

Any update on this? Happens to me right now.

My app was working without problem and this error started to appear out of nowhere.

We faced the same issue on some Android devices.
Updating to plugin version to 5.0.0-beta.1 seems to solve the problem. Thank you!
