Current problem
- If I don’t allow photos access in the mobile app then the only way I can send pictures is to go to Settings and grant access to the pictures I want every time.
- If I choose a limited set of pictures, Fluxer will prompt me to select more, but only one time. If I select more pictures to allow access to, then later I want to select more, I either have to go to Settings and grant access manually, or I have to restart the Fluxer app to be prompted again.
Proposed change
iOS has a system photo picker specifically for this purpose. Ideally you’d just use that instead of a custom photo picker.
If you want to keep the custom photo picker you have, you could also add a button to open the system photo picker. This is what Signal does, if I try to send an image in Signal it shows a horizontally scrollable list of my photos it has access to, but it also has a “Photos” button that opens the system photo picker where I can select a photo that Signal doesn’t have access to.
Platform
iOS
Additional information
This method does not even require a photo library access grant, and it lets me search my photos like I can in the Photos app.
