Photo and video permissions: new requirement on Play Store

[mschroeder-betcloud]

We've noticed new errors in the "App content" section on the Play Store console. It seems that Google now requires a declaration regarding the following permissions required by the Zoho portal SDK:

android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO

See related Play Store screenshots attached.

That main problem here is this part of the declaration:

You can only use these permissions if your app is a gallery app, or if its core functionality is editing, managing and maintaining photos. Otherwise, you must migrate to the Android photo picker or a photo picker of your choice.

Our app is not a gallery app or a photo editing app (or similar), and I believe that will be the case for a lot of other cases.

We are using v1.3.6 of this library and we are still seeing the permissions above being required.

Are there plans to migrate to Android photo picker or another picker so that those permissions can be removed?
