> But I'm not sure why @breautek thinks intent doesn't need to grant permission? Maybe there's a different approach? I know there was behaviour which was handled in the camera plugin where if the `CAMERA` permission is declared in the manifest, then the `CAMERA` permission needs to be granted at the app-level. (Which somewhat defeats the purpose of using Intents...) Perhaps you have the `CAMERA` permission declared in your android manifest somehow, via another plugin or something. The camera plugin handles this by checking if the camera permission is present in the manifest and only request the camera permission if it is. Google has announced that starting in August 2024, that they are going to start cracking down on apps declaring or requesting permissions that the app doesn't actually use or need, so we need to pay close attention when it comes to adding new permission requirements. @jacobg If you could, open up the app that you're testing with inside Android Studio and view your `AndroidManifest.xml` file. The Android Studio editor for the manifest file will have a tab for `Merged Manifest` view, which should represent your manifest as natively compiled. If you can see that the `CAMERA` permission is declared, it should tell what library/module it is coming from. Likely it will be the "app" module since a plugin that you have installed is probably adding it. If you could temporarily remove the CAMERA declaration in the manifest and re-test, I think you should find that it will work as expected without the camera permission. You would also of course have to temporarily disable any code that attempts to request the camera permission as well. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
