AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Application Manager

M4056 scans the mobile app to determine if it provides programmatic access to the user’s Picture library, allowing the app to enumerate and access all files in the library without user interaction. This capability is usually used in photo apps that make sue of the entire Pictures library.

AdminStudio examines the application’s metadata to determine if the feature is part of the application’s primary functionality, and whether it calls the feature’s APIs.
