Description
Google Play Developer requests a change in permissions. Not recommended to use READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO anymore.
Here an abstract from the mail by Google Play:
Hello Google Play Developer,
In October 2023, we announced the Photo and Video Permissions policy to enhance user privacy by limiting the number of apps with access to broad photo and video permissions (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO). Starting January 22, 2025, your app must comply with this policy.
#############
They even have a recommondation:
If your app only needs occasional access to photos and videos, remove the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions from all version codes within the submission. This includes both production and testing tracks. You can migrate to a system photo picker, which allows users to selectively grant access to specific media on a one-time or infrequent basis.
