Error: Call to function ‘ExponentImagePicker.launchCameraAsync’ has been rejected

I’m trying to to make the user take a photo with “expo-image-picker” module using the “launchCameraAsync” function, and at first everything worked out fine, but now when trying to make the user take a photo, expo throws an warning and does not activate the camera, the warning is:

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0): Error: Call to function ‘ExponentImagePicker.launchCameraAsync’ has been rejected. → Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can’t create handler inside thread Thread[DefaultDispatcher-worker-2,5,main] that has not called Looper.prepare()

The code section responsible for this error is:

const permission = await ImagePicker.requestCameraPermissionsAsync();
if (permission.granted === false)
  //Error handeling

console.log(permission);
let result = await ImagePicker.launchCameraAsync({
  base64: false,
  mediaTypes: ImagePicker.MediaTypeOptions.Images,
  allowsEditing: true,
  aspect: [3, 2],
  quality: 1,
});
console.log(result);
if (!result.cancelled) {
  console.log(result.uri);
  setImages({ ...images, document: result.uri });
}

I believe the error may be due to incompatibility with other expo modules but I’m not sure because I have not updated or changed the modules in my app, either way here are the versions of what I believe are the relevant modules.

"expo": "~46.0.16",
"expo-image-picker": "~13.3.1",
"expo-updates": "~0.14.6",
