This has also been my recent experience with Gcam (aka Pixel Camera app). I am running on the GOS beta channel with a P7, and some time in mid-November after a GOS update (I am not sure the exact build number), Gcam stopped working properly on my primary profile. I can open it, but after snapping just one or two pics it closes out with an error message (see copy of error message at the end of this post).
It worked flawlessly up until that point. I have tried clearing data/cache, uninstalling/reinstalling from Aurora store (with device spoofed to P7a), but nothing helped.
I then decided to uninstall Gcam app from primary profile and go to a secondary profile on which I have Google Play and install Gcam from the Play Store and it works fine (minus the image view button since I didn't install Google Photos).
Now is there an easy way to install the Gcam app from the secondary profile to the primary profile?
