Description

I’ll go over the issue that we were seeing and that we want to address with this fix:

• The app crashes when returning from the recorder application (RecForge) when it tries to get the recorded audio – in onAudioActivityResult.
• This only happens if the app doesn’t already have the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission already allowed. If the permissions for image get accepted this issue will not reproduce anymore.
• The READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is part of the manifest but is not requesting permissions from anywhere else except this plugin.
