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


and here is my code
 import React, { Component, useRef, PermissionsAndroid } from 'react';
 import { View, StatusBar, TouchableOpacity, Image } from 'react-native';
 import {RNCamera as Camera} from 'react-native-camera';
 import styles from '../src/components/styles'; 
 import PhotoCaptureIcon from '../assets/camera.png'; 
 import CameraRoll from "@react-native-community/cameraroll";


 const checkAndroidPermission = async () => {
    try {
      const permission = PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;
      await PermissionsAndroid.request(permission);
      Promise.resolve();
     }catch (error) {
      Promise.reject(error);
    }
};
 export default class Application extends Component { 
     constructor(props) { 
         super(); 
         this.camera = null; 
     } 
 


 takePicture =async () => { 
    if (Platform.OS === 'android'){
        await checkAndroidPermission();
    }
    if (this.camera) {
        const options = { quality: 0.5, base64: true };
        const data = await this.camera.takePictureAsync(options);
        console.log(data.uri);
        if (data) {
            const result = await CameraRoll.save(data.uri);
            console.log('????result', result);
          }
      }
     
        
    
}


 render() { 
     return (
     <View style={styles.container}>         
      <StatusBar animated hidden /> 
     <Camera 
        ref={ref => {
            this.camera = ref;
          }}
          style={styles.preview}
          type={Camera.Constants.Type.back}
          flashMode={Camera.Constants.FlashMode.off}
          captureAudio={false}
          
         /> 
         <View style={[styles.overlay, styles.bottomOverlay]}> 
             <TouchableOpacity style={styles.captureButton} onPress={this.takePicture}> 
                 <Image source={PhotoCaptureIcon} /> 
             </TouchableOpacity> 
         </View> 
     </View>
     ); 
 }
