Android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and Android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO - Error in Play Store

Hi Friends,

I’m using the SAP Build Apps Free Edition and recently encountered an issue while trying to publish an update for my app on the Google Play Store.

The Play Store is flagging the following permissions and requesting a justification for their use:

  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES

  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO

However, my app doesn’t access any media files on the device. All content (text and images) is built into the app. It only accesses a couple of external websites and a location—features that rely on device tools like the web browser and Google Maps.

Could you please guide me on how to resolve this permission issue so I can successfully publish the update?

Also, is there a way to remove or modify these permissions before generating the final build in the Free Edition? Else, how do I write an explanation/justification to Google Play Store for approving the above permissions and going ahead with publishing my updates?

Thank you in advance for your support!

Best regards,
Paul
