GitHub user breautek added a comment to the discussion: Android photo picker Cordova plugin, or alternatives to cordova-plugin-camera for photo picking?

Considering that v8 did completely drop those permissions, either you're not actually running the latest plugin code, or you have another plugin inserting those permission declarations and requesting them. I don't know how you've updated your plugin(s) but one common gotcha is they have to be removed and re-added. Simply npm installing the new plugin is not enough to get the new version. ``` cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-camera cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera@8 ``` On the photo picker, the camera plugin doesn't use it because it uses the camera intent, to open the camera app. Most camera applications will allow you to pick from a gallery as well (in which they'll do via the photo picker, or may have their own custom UI if the camera app itself has permissions to manage media files). After confirming that v8 is installed, I'd run `cordova preprae android` to ensure that the native android project is completely up to date, then inspect `/platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`. It should **NOT** have `READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` or any other `READ_MEDIA_*` permissions declared. If you do, then scan your `/plugins` folder for references of `READ_MEDIA` to try to determine where those permissions are coming from.
