A workaround for this issue is to edit [yourApp]\plugins\org.apache.cordova.media-capture\src\android\Capture.java

Starting at line 377, change this code

private JSONObject createMediaFile(Uri data) {
    File fp = webView.getResourceApi().mapUriToFile(data);
    JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();

to the following code

private JSONObject createMediaFile(Uri data) {
    // is thread checking enabled?
    boolean thC = webView.getResourceApi().isThreadCheckingEnabled();       
    // set thread checking to disabled (this works around mapUriToFile failing with IllegalStateException: Do not perform IO operations on the UI thread.
    webView.getResourceApi().setThreadCheckingEnabled(false);       
    File fp = webView.getResourceApi().mapUriToFile(data);
    // set thread checking back to whatever it was before the call above.
    webView.getResourceApi().setThreadCheckingEnabled(thC);
    JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();

This worked for us, hopefully it will be fixed properly soon.
