I was able to fix it by adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" to application tag in AndroidManifest.xml file

I also faced this issue that happened if you select the first time take photo not choose from library so I think related to storage android permissions. according to android permission i made

const checkAllPermissions = async () => {
        try {
            await PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple
            ([PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.CAMERA, PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE]);
            if ((await PermissionsAndroid.check('android.permission.CAMERA')) &&
                (await PermissionsAndroid.check('android.permission.CAMERA')) &&
                (await PermissionsAndroid.check('android.permission.CAMERA'))) {
                console.log('You can use the camera');
                return true;
            } else {
                console.log('all permissions denied');
                return false;
            }
        } catch (err) {
            console.warn(err);
        }
    };

and call this function before use ImagePicker. and works well now from the first time select take Photo.
