I'm getting 4-5 seconds freezes when trying to take a photo (high-end device)

I'm getting systematic 4-5 seconds freezes on the viewfinder when trying to take a photo
I'm using a high-end device (Pixel 10 with loads of RAM)
It's systematic, possibly starting after the recent upgrades.
It's REALLY annoying, each photo does this.

@teolemon I've just tried with the latest dev code on my sh*tty android. It was as fast as I expected:

went to the ingredient picture page
tapped on "take a new picture"
selected "camera"
took a picture
tapped on "ok" (android camera confirming that the picture was good enough to me)
landed on the crop page
I didn't go further as I was in PROD - I can test again in DEV if needed

Which step was long? I guess it was between 5 and 6, right?

Between 3 and 4.

@teolemon

The recent change would be in image_crop_page.dart.
Instead of

    return picker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.camera);

the following code:

    return picker.pickImage(
      imageQuality: ImagePickerConstants.imageQuality, // 80%, instead of 100%
      maxHeight: ImagePickerConstants.maxSize.toDouble(), // 3000, instead on unlimited
      maxWidth: ImagePickerConstants.maxSize.toDouble(), // 3000, instead on unlimited
      source: ImageSource.camera,
    );

Same for gallery.

We also recently upgraded image_picker from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3, but the changelog shows no related explanation.

@teolemon Would you try again, removing one by one imageQuality, maxHeight and maxWidth, to check which ones have an impact on your UX?

@teolemon Please try https://www.fabricefontaine.fr/food/app-release.apk (https://www.fabricefontaine.fr/food/app-release.apk.sha1)
It's a simple app with image picker, with different parameters.
What we currently use in Smoothie is "80,3000,true".
Do you have to wait 5 seconds after you tap on the button?

@teolemon

@teolemon Had a chance to test my little app? Just to make sure it's a matter of flutter upgrade - or not.

@teolemon

@teolemon Still having the same issue even with the latest code?

The app crashes at startup currently

@teolemon

@teolemon Latest code, in DEBUG mode - it works!

I relaunched an internal

@teolemon

@teolemon Still happening after #7807?
