Dear Community, I would like to ask you if someone can help with the issue described in the subject.

Create a hidden button somewhere in your app and add the camera and photo gallery to the click event of the button. This will force Thunkable to ask for permissions.

This forces him/her to provide the permissions to the systems, after that I guess it is ok to …
