Camera Unavailable on Android 14 #20

Looks like the app doesn't ask for camera permissions by default. Manually enabling access in System Settings still doesn't seem to make a difference. Might be a bug in how the app checks that permission?

Same here on Android 13. When going to the app settings to manually grant the camera permission, I can choose between:

I suspect that the app's internal permissions check expects that the camera permission is set to “always grant access”, which also exists in Android but isn't available for Pixelfed.
