android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES requires approval

[pr-schulmanager]

According to https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14115180 the permission android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES (added in #132) is only allowed for "apps with a need for broad access to photos" and requires declaration and approval. Apps with one-time or infrequent use of photos are requested to use Android photo picker instead and remove READ_MEDIA_IMAGES.

Since our last dependency update we are prompted to submit a declaration or remove the permission.

If your app doesn't use the permission, add the following to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.

• Add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to manifest tag attribute
• Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" tools:node="remove" /> element

Example:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" tools:node="remove" />
</manifest>

tools:node="remove" will remove the permissions element from the merged manifest. See https://developer.android.com/build/manage-manifests#node_markers
