Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: General, task, P2)

Description

This shows up as related to a warning in the latest AGP version (8.3.0) and might end up being a clocker for adopting Android 15.

Your app is currently not handling Selected Photos Access introduced in Android 14+
Inspection info:Selected Photo Access is a new ability for users to 
share partial access to their photo library when apps request access to their device storage on Android 14+.  
Instead of letting the system manage the selection lifecycle, we recommend 
you adapt your app to handle partial access to the photo library.
