Description

Affected app
Name: gcam
Package id: com.google.android.GoogleCameraEng

Describe the bug
App crashes when using most modes (Portrait, Night Sight, Panorama, etc...) as well as Photo mode with HDR+ enabled. The only way i can use Gcam at the moment is on Photo mode with HDR+ disabled. This appears to have started after upgrading to microg v. 0.3.6.244735. I was on 0.27.223616 previously.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Gcam
  2. Swap over to Portrait mode
  3. Take a pic
  4. App crashes

Expected behavior
On microg 0.27.223616, all camera modes worked as well as HDR+. Unclear why it's now crashing

System
Android Version: 15
Custom ROM: Lineage from microG (lineage.microg.org)

microG
microG Core version: 0.3.6.244735
microG Self-Check results: All check boxes ticked

Additional context
Using a Pixel 7 (Panther) with BSG's Gcam v.9.2.113 (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl229/)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in Gcam v9.2.113 on a Pixel 7 with Android 15 and microG 0.3.6.244735, then compare it with microG 0.27.223616. No source file or test is named; done means Portrait, Night Sight, Panorama, and HDR+ Photo mode no longer crash.
