Description
Noticed that picture selection in the Image block doesn't work fine when don’t keep activities is ON, or when the device is under heavy load.
This is probably due to JS <----> Native bridge/listeners being corrupted when the image browser activity/screen is shown on the device and the host activity killed.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Gutenberg Mobile issue and reproducing image selection with “Don’t keep activities” enabled or while the device is under heavy load. Trace the Image block’s picture-selection flow across the JavaScript/native bridge and activity recreation. Done means selected images upload reliably in both conditions.
