1802579 - Granular media permissions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Focus :: General, task, P1)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/7400.

On targeting SDK 33, this will require adding new permissions to the manifest file.

We currently use permission READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE so when targeting Android 13 we should also add READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO while also keeping the existing READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

Note: Fortunately, for users that have already allowed reading files from storage, the 3 new permissions are automatically granted.

Change performed by the Move to Bugzilla add-on.

Add post notifications permission:

But more permissions still need to be added.

This adds the media files permissions upstream in the AC module, and also handles the necessary code changes:
