<!--
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO are explicitly removed (tools:node="remove") following
Google Play's Photo and Video Permissions policy.
These broad permissions are only allowed for apps whose core purpose is persistent media library access.
As a developer platform, Make It Native does not qualify; CameraRoll.getPhotos() enumeration will not
work on API 33+. Use tools:node="remove" to also block any dependency from re-adding them during manifest merge.
