[jira] [Created] (CB-13781) Error requesting permission on Android 8

Rubén Panadero created CB-13781:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Error requesting permission on Android 8
                 Key: CB-13781
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13781
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cordova-plugin-camera
            Reporter: Rubén Panadero


Google has changed how an android application must request permissions on Android 8. In fact, it is considered as fix by Google due to a wrong behavior on previous versions.

This change made by Google has affected the cordova-camera-plugin. To save a photo in Photo Album, the plugin just requests the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission right now, but that is not enough on Android 8 because the plugin writes the photo file into Pictures folder so it has to request the writing permission, which is missing, as well.

To sum up, if the plugin has to save a photo in the photo album, this one has to request both READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions.
