title: How does the Google camera app save photos without asking for a storage permission?
body: <p>The official Google camera app (<a href="https://github.com/android/camera-samples/tree/main/CameraXBasic" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/android/camera-samples/tree/main/CameraXBasic</a>) does not ask for any storage permissions. So, how does it save the photos to the device? just look at the AndroidManifest.xml file: <a href="https://github.com/android/camera-samples/blob/main/CameraXBasic/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/android/camera-samples/blob/main/CameraXBasic/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml</a> As you can see, it does not ask for that storage permission.</p>
