The version of react-native-image-picker you're using requires newer Android SDK features than your project is configured for.

The error log points to symbols from Android 13 (API 33), like Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU and MediaStore.ACTION_PICK_IMAGES, which your build environment can't find. This means your project's compileSdkVersion is set to a value lower than 33.

Update your Android project's SDK versions. You need to target at least API level 33.

```
buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21 
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
    }
}
```

Make sure you have the corresponding Android SDK Platform 33 and Build-Tools 33.0.0 installed via the Android Studio SDK Manager. Remember to clean the previous build artifacts.
