    Description

      With Android SDK 33 needed for playstore READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE are deprecated!!

       
      https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#granular-media-permissions

      You have to use android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES if you want to read photos from gallery for example.
      My current permissions in my AndroidManifest.xml:

      <!-- Dangerous permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES"/>
<!--uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="29"/->
<!-- %%INSERT_PERMISSIONS -->

       

      And corresponding checkPermissions method:

      #ifdef Q_OS_ANDROID
    #include <QCoreApplication>
    #include <QtCore/private/qandroidextras_p.h>
#endif
#ifdef Q_OS_ANDROID
bool checkPermission() {
    QList<bool> permissions;    auto r = QtAndroidPrivate::checkPermission("android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE").result();
    if (r != QtAndroidPrivate::Authorized)
    {
        r = QtAndroidPrivate::requestPermission("android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE").result();
        if (r == QtAndroidPrivate::Denied)
            permissions.append(false);
    }
    r = QtAndroidPrivate::checkPermission("android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE").result();
    if (r != QtAndroidPrivate::Authorized)
    {
        r = QtAndroidPrivate::requestPermission("android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE").result();
        if (r == QtAndroidPrivate::Denied)
            permissions.append(false);
    }
    r = QtAndroidPrivate::checkPermission("android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES").result();
    if (r != QtAndroidPrivate::Authorized)
    {
        r = QtAndroidPrivate::requestPermission("android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES").result();
        if (r == QtAndroidPrivate::Denied)
            permissions.append(false);
    }
    return (permissions.count() != 3);
}
#endif
