App crashes when uploading image to firebase storage - Kotlin

Question

As soon as I upload an image from a path on the phone my app craches. The user is also successfully authenticated into the app and i've imported all the sdk's needed. It could be that the sdk's verision is not the right one, because it's not the newest verision. I followed this video: https://youtu.be/86dkYGeXMaU

this is my code:

private fun UploadToFirebaseStorage(){

    if(PhotoUri == null) return

    Log.d("AuthMsgs", PhotoUri.toString())
    val filename = UUID.randomUUID().toString()

    val ref = 
    FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference("/images/$filename")

    ref.putFile(PhotoUri!!)
            .addOnSuccessListener {
                Log.d("AuthMsgs", "Photo Succes: " + it.metadata?.path)
            }


}

heres the log cat message:

You just forgot to add the GOOGLE_PHOTOS permission to your Manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.apps.photos.permission.GOOGLE_PHOTOS"/>

"It didn't work." can be a lot of things. Please give some more information. Does it compile? Do you get another error? – Jakob Nov 06 '18 at 16:53
I fixed it my self. – David Wenzel Nov 17 '18 at 12:50
@DavidWenzel How did you fix this problem? I am running into it as well – NdaJunior Feb 13 '20 at 07:45
@NdaJunior It was a long time ago. So I don't really remember. But I'll come back to you when/if I find out. – David Wenzel Feb 14 '20 at 09:08
@NdaJunior Well, I think got around the problem by just not uploading any images to firebase. – David Wenzel Feb 17 '20 at 20:25
