recently googleplay console send me this note
Starting May 5th, you must let us know why your app requires broad storage access
We've detected that your app contains the requestLegacyExternalStorage flag in the manifest file of 1 or more of your app bundles or APKs.
Developers with apps on devices running Android 11+ must use Scoped Storage to give users better access control over their device storage. To release your app on Android 11 or newer after May 5th, you must either:
Update your app to use more privacy friendly best practices, such as the Storage Access Framework or Media Store API
Update your app to declare the All files access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) permission in the manifest file, and complete the All files access permission declaration in Play Console from May 5th
Remove the All files access permission from your app entirely
For apps targeting Android 11, the requestLegacyExternalStorage flag will be ignored. You must use the All files access permission to retain broad access.
Apps requesting access to the All files access permission without a permitted use will be removed from Google Play, and you won't be able to publish updates.
I use flutter and the only package who need permission from storage is image_picker from the official flutter_dev team so this isn't an unmaintained package or noob package...
I'm search requestLegacyExternalStoragein the manifest of image_picker but nothing found. How can I be sure that even if I remove all the package it's will be ok ?
So I don't understand why I have this note from googleplay, perhaps this is just to prevent, and I'm OK with rules. But perhaps not and I don't want to risk to have my app remove fro the store the 5th May. So How can I be sure, to do the right things to not have my app remove ... thank you
EDIT: it's seems to have a bug in this official package, when user select camera, there is no dialog to accept or denied the storage permission. I don't know if it's due to that or if I will have same problem with all the plugin
