Declare Storage Permissions in the Manifest

[Dr_Vicky]

I am unable to get you. Please can you share the blocks on designer?

Shouldn’t we use blocks ?

There is only one block:

@Current_Affaires_com

Ask permission?

Many storage permission bugs / issues can be fixed if these permissions are correctly declared in the Manifest. Here’s an extension that does it: Whether the permissions are then automatically requested depends on the respective components and must be checked (with the APK). So if you found a permission problem, use this extension and report back if the problem persists.

What about Android 11 it’s not working on it

What is not working?
On Android 11+ WRITE permission does no longer exist and therefore it cannot be granted on Android 11.

Is it only necessary to insert the extension? Don’t need to modify anything in the blocks?

Yes.

@roneylima1992

There is nothing to modify!
As I said, there is only 1 block (and this helps to get the API of the device).

I inserted the extension in my project, but the bug continues, I can’t download it through the apk.

The Download component incorrectly requests WRITE permission also on Android 11+. Since a file is downloaded to the Shared folder /Download, no storage permissions are required on Android 11+.

Wondering how you defined android:maxSdkVersion="29" considering there’s no annotation member for this in App Inventor.

[Dr_Vicky]

Not working. Still The same issue

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@Dr_Vicky

Not working. Still The same

Post the APK.

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

WRITE is still declared only up to API 29 (Android 10).

Read my answers carefully …

[Dr_Vicky]

Thanks
Now whats the solution?

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

See e.g. here:

Denied permissions in advance After updating the version to (Kodular Fenix 1.5.5)

[grafik] If so (as I mentioned several times), build the APK, decompile it and edit the Manifest by declaring this line in the Manifest, recompile and try again. [grafik] Which means that now WRITE is incorrectly also declared on Android 11+ (but it can never be granted there, as it works the same way as READ on Android 11+). This is of course (as also mentioned several times) a bug! But it should solve your problem until this serious bug is (hopefully soon) fixed.

[Dr_Vicky]

No solution even after this update

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

The bugs regarding WRITE permission on Android 11+ has not been fixed with the Fenix 1.5.6 update.

This has nothing to do with my extension.

Fenix 1.5.6 - bugs - File component

First test of the File component after the 1.5.6 release / Android 9 & 11 Copy a file from assets to one of the Shared folders (e.g. /Download): [grafik] APK: File.Exists scopeAsset does not work Copy from assets to FileScope.Legacy does not work Copy from assets to FileScope.Shared does not work (no crash as with Companion).

Hello ma’am, can you please show us where to set these blocks. We are not getting it. Is it just need to insert in the app only??

[Still-learning (GSR)]

Upload this extension in to your project then drag into designer part. Thats all
