Research direction

Start with the deploying-mobile tutorial at the linked URL and inspect the AndroidManifest.xml permission guidance around the APK build step. Reproduce or verify the camera and photo-storage behavior in Android Studio, then clarify the tutorial so it explains whether the permission XML is required and what users should expect.

Issue Description

I was following the photo-gallery app tutorial step by step.

When I did the build apk step in Android Studio, I forgot to add the permission xml into AndroidManifest.xml file.

But strangely, all the functionalities of the application worked as expected (camera, photo storage functionality). I couldn't understand this behavior from the android app. Could someone guide me what I am missing here. Thanks.
