Description
Hi, I want to follow up on Google Play Photo and Video Permissions Policy and ask whether there’s any plan to remove READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions if they are no longer required?
I used the justification that my app requires these permissions for sharing images/videos during screen sharing, but Google doesn’t think that’s a good excuse:
We found that your app is not compliant with how the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES/READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions are allowed to be used.
Your app only requires one-time or infrequent access to media files on the device. Only apps with a core use case that require persistent access to photo and video files located in shared storage on devices are allowed to use photo and video permissions. For more details on the requirements, please see Google Play’s Photo and Video Permissions policy.
Thanks!
