Cropper crashes after selecting a picture and transitioning to crop view. - Android 9 (Pie)

No Error message is given but the app crashes in the transition and returns to the screen it was on before the image-cropper is initiated.

`profilePicture?.setOnClickListener {
Log.d("CreateProfileFrag","Open picture selection")

//crop image to circle
if (context != null) {
CropImage.activity()
.setGuidelines(CropImageView.Guidelines.ON)
.setCropShape(CropImageView.CropShape.OVAL)
.start(activity!!)
}
}`

The cropper continues to work on lower versions of android. <=8 (Oreo)
