Make sure you add all permission to access the camera and storage memory on the release mode.

Android: in src/main/AndroidManifest.xml: inside the manifest tag, add this:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

IOS: inside file Info.plist add these:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Allow access to camera to capture photos</string>

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Allow access to photo library</string>

And after that run flutter clean and flutter pub get.

Looks like you start ImagePicker more than once, put a logline before ImagePicker().pickImage and you should see if it gets called again before you finished the first one.
