+## 0.8.13+4
+
+* Fixes camera confirmation buttons (e.g., Retake/Use Photo) taps passing through to the underlying Flutter UI while the picker is dismissing on some iOS versions (e.g., iOS 26).
+
 ## 0.8.13+3
 
 * Fixes a performance regression on iOS where picking videos could cause a long delay due to transcoding. The picker is now configured to request the original asset to avoid conversion.
