This is mainly about upcoming changes around the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions.
Quoting:
Mid 2024: Apps with one-time or infrequent use of photos requested to use a system photo picker and remove READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions from their app manifest.
Early 2025: Only apps with broad access core functionality can use READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions.
What does it mean to have a one-time or infrequent use of photos or video files?
Examples of one-time or infrequent use of photos or video files include, but are not limited to, uploading a profile picture, uploading an image for a playlist, or uploading a photo of a check for banking purposes. Infrequent use infers that your app does not have a photo or video use case as its core functionality. If your app has a one-time or infrequent use case for photo or video files, you may not use the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permission, and we urge you to instead use a system picker to preserve user privacy.
Apps using the Stream SDK will stay compliant by 2024/Early 2025.
Stream SDK switches to a system picker or an alternative method, so we no longer use the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions.

Hey @fabiendem, for this to happen, we will have to wait for our dependencies like react-native-cameraroll and expo-media-library to be compliant first and then we can add the following support as well.
Motivation
Google announced a new Google Play's Photo and Video Permissions policy.

Apps using those permissions for the Stream Chat feature are likely to fall into this "one-time or infrequent use of photos" bucket.
