@nativescript/imagepicker does not show selected image after app is build in release mode

I am having an issue now where @nativescript/imagepicker works perfectly when I do ns run android, wherein I am able to see the images in their respective folders and make a selection and the selected image is shown in my ui as the selected image. However, after I do a ns build releease .... the apk or aab file does not show the selected image. I am able to see the images list in their respective folders, make a selection but then it does not appear in my ui as selected, as If I had selected nothing. My package.json is as shown before:

"dependencies": {
"@nativescript-community/drawingpad": "^4.1.0",
"@nativescript-community/https": "^4.1.8",
"@nativescript-community/perms": "^2.3.0",

...
},
"devDependencies": {
"@nativescript/android": "8.6.2",
"@nativescript/webpack": "~5.0.18"
}

and the relevant settings in my AndroidManifest are:

The relevant part of my app.gradle is:
android {
compileSdkVersion 33
buildToolsVersion "33"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 33
versionCode 10074
}

I am using open jdk 14.

Revisa la dependencia @nativescript/imagepicker en package.json junto con AndroidManifest y app.gradle. Reproduce la diferencia entre ns run android y ns build release y, a continuación, sigue el resultado de la selección en el APK o AAB de release. Se considera terminado cuando una imagen seleccionada aparece en la UI en las compilaciones de release igual que durante el desarrollo.
