Flutter_file_picker: APP CRASHES: requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()

[arnold-parge]

Error says requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission(), I added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />, yet I get the same error.

Hi, can you try to use file_picker: 1.3.5 instead and see if it’s working for you?

Thank you.

[miguelpruivo]

@arnold-parge please let me know if it worked for you because if so, I may have to rollback a commit and add the runtime read external storage permissions again.

Thank you.

[arnold-parge]

Putting specific version file_picker: 1.3.5 works. You may need to rollback.
Thanks @miguelpruivo

[miguelpruivo]

Fixed in 1.3.7.

Thank you.
