The "Browse" option is no longer available in the Android Photo Picker

[marcshilling]

Prior to the changes in #2093, the Android photo picker had the "Browse" option in the kebab/3 dot menu:

This allowed you to select photos from cloud providers like Google Drive or Google Photos. If I revert all the changes in the initiatePicker() function from that PR, the Browse button returns and everything still works. It still presents the "new official Android Photo Picker", so I'm unclear what the purpose of the changes were.

Sadly, the removal of the "Browse" button breaks the only known workaround for the issue described in #2016 (and #1982, #1969 and #1952). I had been holding off on upgrading to the version of react-native-image-crop-picker that utilizes this new native Android picker for this reason (version 0.42.0, which merged PR 2093 ). However, now I have no alternative but to upgrade to the latest version that no longer has the "Browse" button because of #2174. Unfortunately, it seems this library is no longer suitable for my purposes because one of the key features of my app is to be able to get the time and location metadata from photos on both iOS and Android devices.
