Image Picker, it’s not showing gallery or photos

among others they forgot to fix the image picker bug in the latest bugfix release, see also Kodular Bug fixes - #5 by Diego

for the image picker bug workaround see here

After SDK33: required storage permissions on Android 13+ (READ_MEDIA_...) missing

The targetSdkVerion = 33 is finally online, but it does not declare the required storage permissions on Android 13+ (READ_MEDIA_...).
