ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE: How to whitelist a different camerapp in android-11 and later?

Question

My android app uses ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE to ask an installed camera-app to take a photo for my app. If there are more than one camera apps installed android presents a camera chooser where the user can choose which camera app should take the shot.

Since android-11 only the preinstalled camera is available.

To work around this i need to explicitly whitelist additional camera apps.

My android app followed Android 11 (R) return empty list when querying intent for ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE and https://commonsware.com/blog/2020/08/16/action-image-capture-android-r.html to whitelist the additional camera app OpenCamera for android-11 and later.

When executing my app on a android-10 device all works as expected.

When executing my app on a android-11 device i get ActivityNotFoundException

Any idea what i am missing?

Here is the sourcecode (from GetDocument2CameraActivity )

    private static final String[] AO11_ADDITIONAL_KNOWN_CAMERA_APPS = new String[] {
            "net.sourceforge.opencamera", // https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/code
    };

    private void onRequestPhoto() {

        this.resultPhotoUri = createSharedUri();
        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE)
                .putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, this.resultPhotoUri)
                .putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_MEDIA_TITLE, getString(R.string.label_select_picture))
                .setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION );

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
            addInitialIntents(intent, AO11_ADDITIONAL_KNOWN_CAMERA_APPS);
        }

        // start the image capture Intent
        startActivityForResult(intent, ACTION_REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

//!!!  startActivityForResult throws ActivityNotFoundException

    }

    private void addInitialIntents(Intent baseIntent, String... packageIdCandidates) {
        PackageManager packageManager = this.getPackageManager();
        List<Intent> whitelist = new ArrayList<>();
        for (String packageId : packageIdCandidates) {
            Intent candidate = new Intent(baseIntent).setPackage(packageId);
            List<ResolveInfo> resolveInfos = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(candidate, 0);
            if (!resolveInfos.isEmpty()) {
                Log.i(TAG, "known camera app added '" + packageId + "' = " + resolveInfos.get(0));

// this code is executed: logcat contains
// known camera app added 'net.sourceforge.opencamera' = ResolveInfo{37e3009 net.sourceforge.opencamera/.MainActivity m=0x108000}

                whitelist.add(candidate);
            }
        }

        if (!whitelist.isEmpty()) {
            baseIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, whitelist.toArray(new Intent[0]));
        }
    }

build.xml has compileSdk 31

Manifest contains

<queries>
    <intent>
        <action android:name="android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" />
    </intent>
</queries>

when executing logcat contains
