[BUG] asset picker does not work without rights explicitely removed by Google (Android 15)
Describe the bug Google has sent me a message asking explicitly to remove the permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO"/>
I had to comply as they just removed my app from the store without any further comment. Now I'm trying to develop and run the app against Android 15 (emulator) and the picker just fails with this error:
Bad state: Permission state error with PermissionState.denied.
It works though if I add back the permissions - which is not allowed by Google. In other words : it looks like the package just can't be used at least on Android 15.
How to reproduce Remove or comment the permissions :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO"/>
and launching the picker will fail with the error "Bad state: Permission state error with PermissionState.denied."
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior The picker should be able to work without these permissions, and/or ask them dynamically only when required.

Unfortunately, I had to stop using this library to comply with Google new constraints. Sad, it's much better than the native pickers :-(
Update: Picking a single asset from Android is a valid path, but we still don't know if it's possible on iOS/macOS. We will update once we confirm this can be implemented.
any updates on this?, my app is also rejected from play store. please fix this asap
