You can easily fork the repo and remove the image picker from it.

That’s right, I forgot the grantUriPermissions is set to true on the image_picker.

Just this

Google play asks me privacy policy

I found camera permission is added by image_picker.
I think remove image_picker for FileType.IMAGE and FileType.CAMERA better.
Separate it for difference requirement.

If you don’t need it you don’t have to provide those permissions as well. The image_picker is just re-used here in order to prevent two packages but I get your idea. I’ll take in consideration.

No. I don't give CAMERA permisiion in AndroidManifest.xml
But still appear CAMERA permission in app.
Untill I remove image_picker in my file_picker fork.

image_picker will auto add permission.

I'll reopen so others may see this. I would like to have more feedback since I get the point, that it would be fine to have it separated in both plugins, but I can also understand that this is more reliable for some users since they have to only import one plugin and it will handle picking all file types.

Edit: @kgamecarter I don't get it. I've tried it right now in a clean installation (used the example app) and it only requires camera permission if you actually try to load a path from a camera, which is indeed expected, since you can't use the camera without the user giving permissions. Other than that, it won't trigger the camera permission. So, if you don't use picking from camera, you should be fine.

Hum, I see. The privacy policies. This may be useful in the meantime.

But if some one just need pick document or saved file. remove useless permission better.

Yes, I am maintaining my fork now.

hi , I have this problem too, I want to remove the camera permission, plz help.

from flutter_file_picker.

This is a tricky one because the plugin supports picking files from camera so it will always have to have that permission.

One option will be removing this feature entirely and let users use this alongside with image_picker if needed.
