Nope, hadn’t come across that one, and Yep - it was exactly what I needed Thank you, thank you, thank you! Added that to my manifest as well as the permission check function I had, and viola! Photos! After removing and re-installing the app, I even got the permission pop-up I had been expecting asking me if I wanted to allow access.
So just to confirm, based on that bug report you filed (and for which I voted), this is an android version issue? That is, the code I had would have worked (at least theoretically) in android less than 13?
