Google rejected by this permission

[DurankGts]

in my codenameone_settings i deleted this permission

Your app should use the Android photo picker or other system pickers for photos or videos, instead of requesting READ_MEDIA_IMAGES or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions.

According to our policy, apps targeting Android 13 or later (API 33 or later) can only request these general storage permissions if the system pickers are not technically sufficient to provide the app's core functionality.

Why your code is inserting again this? I'm no using your api I create my native class to this an fixed in other app.

this my pemssion but in your generated code

That's a hint that you literally inject into the app, we don't control that once it's in the hints and just do what you asked for. We actually just announced a new approach for build hints that will let you use annotations for build hints. That would give us more control on the client side and in the code.

However, if you still do an explicit permission inject there just isn't much we can do.

this the problem I'm not inserting this permission

this the build hints in my project.

codename1.arg.android.xpermissions=

<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/> 

could you please check why your final Sources is inserting?

This permission will popup if you're invoking: createMedia or createMediaRecorder . If you have a case that doesn't warrant these permissions you can use android.blockReadMediaPermissions=true.

[DurankGts]

but this build hint is new sure? I have launched many apps to production and using createMedia you never inserted this permission.

[shai-almog]

The code for this permission is 10 months old and stems from requirements post API level 33 for some media use cases. It might have been dormant until last month due to a bug.

[DurankGts]

this build hint will remove this permission READ_MEDIA_IMAGES o READ_MEDIA_VIDEO in android?

[shai-almog]

Yes
