We’re currently using Capacitor 5 and are looking to reduce the permissions required by our app, particularly around media access, to better align with privacy practices and reduce potential security risks. Currently, our app requests media permissions like READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, but I’ve heard that the Android Photo Picker introduced in Android 13 (API level 33) could be a native solution that avoids these permissions.
I’d like to know if anyone has experience or guidance on implementing the Android Photo Picker in an Ionic Capacitor project using Capacitor 5. Has anyone successfully used this feature to replace media permissions, and if so, what approach did you take? Any tips on managing backward compatibility with earlier Android versions would also be appreciated.
Thank you for your help!
