Access saved pictures without CameraRoll on iOS / Android

Hi there,

Does anyone can confirm that because of sandboxing restrictions, there is no way (eg File class) to access saved pictures folder (aka DCIM...) without using CameraRoll class and thus native UI on iOS and Android devices?

The reason I want to do this is that I need to create an image browser with different picture size that the tiny one provided by native CameraRoll UI, like in Instagram app on iOS does.

Maybe an ANE ?

Thanks for your advices.
