Starting May 5th, you must let us know why your app requires broad storage access

hi there!

it’s hard to parse out exactly what google wants from us here. you can read more discussion on this in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/mqzls8/ominous_scoped_storage_warning_messages/

if you are have an expo managed workflow app, as far as i know there is no action needed on your behalf. i imagine almost every app on the play store would have received this same warning email.

we’ll investigate further and let people know what we find
