Media Capabilities property not specified

I run ./gradlew :app:lint task to generate a report.

One of them is Media Capabilities property not specified：

../../src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:6: The app accesses MediaStore.Video, but is missing a tag with a android.content.MEDIA_CAPABILITIES declaration

  3   xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  4   package="com.example.myapp">
  5 
  6   <application                                                                                      
  7     android:name=".App"
  8     android:allowBackup="false"
  9     android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

In Android 12 and higher, an app that opens media files should explicitly specify media formats that it doesn't support, so the OS can provide a transcoded file instead. To suppress this error, use the issue id "MediaCapabilities" as explained in the Suppressing Warnings and Errors section.

How to fix it?

We're getting the same warning and we don't have any video in our app - at least directly. I found this bug report, they state that it might be from a library you're using. Until a better solution has been made by Google I think the best would be to just ignore it (as suggested by Marius Kohmann) if you're certain you're not using video in your app.

I am not using any media capabilities in my app, and will still get this lint issue.

I simply suppressed the error to "fix" it. Seems like a false positive with Android Lint.

<application
    tools:ignore="MediaCapabilities">
</application>
