Remove the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions from your app:

[sudiptab4]

If your app only needs occasional access to photos and videos, remove the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions from your apps’ manifest, across all app version codes within the submission. This includes all tracks, including both production and testing tracks. You can migrate to a system photo picker, which allows users to selectively grant access to specific media on a one-time or infrequent basis.

I am using "permission_handler: ^11.3.1". still facing the above warning when we are uploading the APP on playstore

Same problem here. Any solution?

I actually have the same problem. We added this package to our mobile app to be able to continuously monitor the state of granted permissions, as a media upload is a core feature of our mobile app. The Google Play Review team now keeps blocking our most recent mobile app release, saying that the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and the READ_MEDIA_VIDEOS MUST be removed for the app to be published. They reason it by saying that the media upload is not a core feature of our app, while it basically is the only feature our mobile app currently has; so their argument makes absolute zero sense.

But yeah, they require us to remove the two permissions, while your docs say that we need these two to monitor the according permission state:

If your application needs access to media files Google recommends using the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, or READ_MEDIA_AUDIO permissions instead. These can be requested using the Permission.photos, Permission.videos, and Permission.audio respectively.

Is any workaround planned for this?

We now have to drop this package, they will not let us release our mobile app otherwise.
