I have the same problem, thaks God I found this because I was getting crazy :downcast_face_with_sweat:

24

I checked out Kodular Fenix (v1.5D.0) Bug Tracker before creating a new topic

Describe your issue

After the upgrade on 10-12-2025 the size of my .abb or .apk increases and when i try to upload a new version of my app to google play it was rejected by google, now the manifest is shows that the app is requesting for READ_MEDIA_IMAGES/READ_MEDIA_VIDEO access
The only chage I made was to change some blocks in place but no new blocks were added

Steps to reproduce the issue

I changed the blocks in different places after the Kodular aupdate and then create a new .abb to upload it to google, the file size increases fom 6.3Mb to 7.8Mb

Expected Behaviour

Not requesting READ_MEDIA_IMAGES/READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions , I am not using nothing like youtube player or anything additional than before.

Actual Behaviour

Google rejecting the package because is requesting READ_MEDIA_IMAGES/READ_MEDIA_VIDEO access

I debugged my app and with Notepad removed permissions, compiled it again and Google Approved my app. Remove the permissions manually

Yes me too, but it’s temporary :laughing:

:green_heart:

I rather like the word “workaround” sounds like I know what I am doing, than temporary :sweat_smile:

At least we’re still get the point :sweat_smile::laughing::sweat_smile:

:joy:
I have the same issue as you — although the READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions have been fixed, both the AAB and APK file sizes increased by about 1.2 MB, even though I didn’t add any new components.

38

I belive you should again login to your account > open project > rebuild apk or aab > then publish new file.

It’s fixed now

Thank you Kodular team :kodular:
