Current Behavior

Hi,

I tried to use the media picker functionality, Used the media picker from the MAUI essentials. When i click on the CapturePhotoAsync() method it is asking the permission popup 2 times (1 for photos & media, another one for take pictures & record video).

I have added the sample code with both the approaches.

If I tried with the same functionality with Xam.plugin.media it is asking the permission only ones.

Expected Behavior

It should ask only one permission.

Steps To Reproduce

1. open the application and run in a android device.
2. Click on the button (Capture Photo MAUI media).
3. you can see the 2 permission popups.

Remove the permission from device settings. try with Capture photo button it will ask only one permission(Implemented by xam.plugin.media).

I tried your repository and I can see the bug you mention. However, you do not do anything with CommunityToolkit.Maui, but only use Xam.Plugin.Media. Please tell me if I am wrong, but this seems like the wrong place to report this bug.

@ramonB1996 is correct this is not the repository you want. You want to raise your issue directly against .NET MAUI here https://github.com/dotnet/maui

This repository is for a toolkit built on top of .NET MAUI
