I have got the last update for my app rejected because I require permission to access to the gallery images, and apparently google cannot be convinced that this is a core feature of my app (which clearly is).
The solution they propose is to use the Android Photo picker instead, which does not require special permission.

Does you plugin include this option / will include it in the next future?
I think this will sooner or later affect most users using the gallery.

We internally use native picker. This was done from v3 release(last year)

#

Did you use our media services and still get rejected?

I just wanted to be sure you include this as I could not find it mentioned elsewhere. Great! Just bought the asset now!

I've got the gallery acces working with android and your plugin, but I've found an interesting unexpected behaviour:

#

When rotating multiple times the screen, the picker follows the screen orientation but it looks like a new instance of the photo picker is opened at each rotation

I get this behavior also when using just your demo scene MediaServicesDemo

#

When selecting an image from the last visible picker in the stack, that picker closes but the one below is now focussed

#

I've noticed this because my app is has forced lanscape mode, and the picker is basically unusable (shame on the android devs) from this orientation

Here you can see when dragging down one picker, there is another one below

Ok I will check it.

Thank you

#

Alternatively, is there a way to fix the orientation of the picker to landscape?

#

Is your app fixed to landscape?

vocal nimbus Dec 2, 2025, 1:04 PM

#

Yes

#

(I mean, maybe I would prefer to fix the picker to portrait)
