I just ported a project from 4.15 everything seems OK until Android permission showed up about my game needing to access photos. No such permission was added to permissions and my game doesn’t need to access any pictures on no body phones. Why does that come up in 4.21 but everything works nice and smooth in 4.15. Why are things kinda backwards with newer engines. Also game cruses before you can say mama. Also I tried posting these question and that cause internal Error at Epic so I have to re right the questions. lol

As looked android don’t have dedcated photo access permission instend devloper should use android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and this is only permission that UE4 declares in android manifest, which is used to read and store data on external medium. What phone do you using and system? There possibility that you version of android in your phone prompts this permission as attempt to access photos which is most common reason of using that permission

Also internal error ar anwserhub happens quite often

Thank you for the answer. I’m using Samsung S6. Currently all my games are running without EXTERNAL STORAGE permission. Since I have use external storage files directory checked in the editor. Wouldn’t that be enough. Cause I have been getting some installs from users. I have save score set up that can be recorded to leaderboard. Also could you please help me understand what to do with Google + shutting down. I removed google plus API and also Google Play services but something is impacting my account in the ways that is not necessary. All my installs are down to 0 now. since mid FEB. HELLLLPP.
Im going to jump out of my 1 meter of the ground window and what happens happens. Thank you!!!

Also sir! Since Google + shut down my install rate on Google play went out the window completely and the way Google works right now is like the more games I make the less installs I get. I’m not sure how they operate the business there but trying to get some help from them is equally impossible. Whats going on with Google play!!!
