Release Highlights

cordova-plugin-media

For Android, the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_PHONE_STATE permissions have a protection level of dangerous. Because of this, we removed the declaration of these permissions.

The cordova-plugin-file dependency was updated to use version ^7.0.0.

The setRate functionality, which was previously only supported on the iOS platform, is now supported on the Android platform. There was also a fix around this functionality for iOS.

cordova-plugin-media-capture

For Android, the RECORD_VIDEO permission definition was removed as it was never used and appears to never exist.

The cordova-plugin-file dependency was updated to use version ^7.0.0.

Permission checks, for Android, has been unified to fix inconsistencies between the different capture methods.

Please report any issues you find at issues.cordova.io!
