Hello @Nyan274 The SDK needs those permissions to work, because it is a core functionality. If your app doesn't use this functionallity at all, you can remove those permission from the Andorid Manifest by using the following line:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" tools:node="remove" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" tools:node="remove" />
By August 2024, Google requires the Apps with one-time or infrequent use of photos are requested to remove READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions from their app manifest and migrate to a system photo picker if necessary.
Since the client app doesn't use photo and video messaging feature, it's hard to pass the app review by play store.
