   Hi @rlecheta,
   What api level does your app target ?
   Per the plugin's official documentation, for api > 29, no configuration is required and for api <= 29, there's a flag android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true".
   If you are on api <=29, you may try to set above flag to false and see if you see any issues while using the plugin.

   Hi, with this flag:
   android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="false"

   My build never completes, it complains something about the cloud_firestore plugin:

   logs

   Hi @rlecheta @rlechetaudemy (assuming you are same person with different usernames)with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE entries intact in manifest file, do you get any error while building or does it prohibit to use image_picker plugin ?

   Hi, it throws the same exception, with or without the WRITE/READ permissions. Now my manifest is like this and I got the same error:

   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="..."> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <application android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="Gama Saúde" android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="false" >

   @rlecheta,
   Usually if you have minSdkVersion 21 and targetSdkVersion 29, then you won't explicitly need to specify the permissions in manifest.
   I am on same settings and tried the official image_picker plugin example on latest Stable (1.20.1). When I try to access gallery or camera, it by default asks you for the permission as below:

   Hi @darshankawar , sure it works like you explained. But please, read again what I explain in the first post.
   The problem is that I didn't put the WRITE/READ permission in my Manifest, but during the manifest merge, the plugin put it there. If you Analyse your apk, you are going to see both permissions there, even if you don't wanna it.
   My app doesn't pass the security requirements of my company because that.
   It's very important that Flutter plugins doesn't put any unnecessary permissions on the Manifest if they are not necessary.
   And finally, we are talking about some official plugin.

    Hi @rlecheta
    You can avoid this by using image_picker locally in your project and removing the permission line

    I don't think write permission would be removed from the package itself
    Closing as there is an easy solution to this. If you disagree, please write in the comments and I will reopen it.
    Thank you
