You will need to remove permission requests for READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO from your app. Having introduced these permissions, Google then disallows them in apps uploaded to Play Store.

Yes... But where into the app ?

Do you ask for these permissions?

Do you use any extensions that might be asking for these permissions?

It is about declaring that permission, and this is something the app developer does not have any influence about it

My guess is, the camera and/or image picker component are doing this automatically. @ewpatton ?

Try the file picker component instead of the image picker to find out if this makes a difference.

I use
TaifunAM
TaifunFTP
taifunFile WebViewExtra
Telephonie_Manager
WebwiewExtra

None of the built-in components currently declare the READ_MEDIA_IMAGE or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions. Either those permission blocks are being used somewhere in the app, or an extension is declaring the permissions. Without seeing the full project I cannot say.

Where i can find this picker component Taifun ?
I use lot of your component... They are not these declarations inside ?

those extensions do not declare these permissions
provide a complete list of extensions you are using

the file picker you can find in the media drawer

You generally always should use the latest version of each extension
Taifun

Yes but i don't find where i can find the last ones...

For my free extensions see my webpage

For my paid extensions see the download link you received by email after purchasing the extension

Since you are using the File component multiple times, that is most likely the reason.
