You used to be able to grant "Permissions" to the app that were accepted by the user to access photos and documents. The problem with both Android and iOS is that they keep changing the permissions models every couple of years to follow new legislation or technical threats (Bluetooth suddenly became "This app might be able to track your location"). In order to keep apps active in the stores, they do need annual maintenance (in my experience), to update these features and/or complete store compliance rules ("Does this product use AI to generate any content that might be offensive" just appeared as a rule on Apple store). I get why both companies do this, but it does make it a pain for the small developer to constantly have to go back and jump through hoops. Either way - my hat is off to you Tom! Another exceptional project that I will follow with great interest.
