Start with the stack trace entries for CropImage.startPickImageActivity in CropImage.java and CropImageActivity.onCreate in CropImageActivity.java. Reproduce the launch on an affected Android device or version and trace the file URI passed through the intent. Done means the image-picking flow no longer throws FileUriExposedException on the reported devices.
