Try following methods (note : these are not steps)

1. Make sure you have necessary permission in AndroidManifest.xml file

   If not try adding this permissions

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

2. Update or downgrade image_picker plugin

3. If this happening after flutter sdk update then downgrade sdk

4. Enable multidex in app/build.gradle

   defaultConfig {
       .......
       minSdkVersion 21
       targetSdkVersion 28 
       multiDexEnabled true
       .......
    }
   
   dependencies {
       .....
       implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9'
       compile  'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    }
