GitHub user mehmetcodes opened a pull request:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/199
Update plugin.xml
In principle Cordova should not use a permission where it is no longer
relevant as it might leave things less secure.
You can see this documentation here
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-permission-element.html
Note the following in the documentation:
============================================================================================
android:maxSdkVersion
The highest API level at which this permission should be granted to your
app. Setting this attribute is useful if the permission your app requires is no
longer needed beginning at a certain API level.
For example, beginning with Android 4.4 (API level 19), it's no longer
necessary for your app to request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission when
your app wants to write to its own application-specific directories on external
storage (the directories provided by getExternalFilesDir()). However, the
permission is required for API level 18 and lower. So you can declare that this
permission is needed only up to API level 18 with a declaration such as this:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
This way, beginning with API level 19, the system will no longer grant your
app the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
This attribute was added in API level 19.
