Google Play Console requestLegacyExternalStorage

As I understand it, there shouldn’t be any problems as long as the app targets Android 10 (API 29), which is currently still the case with Kodular and AI2 (at least until the end of July 2021).

I think this is a general warning about requestLegacyExternalStorage that will only become relevant once Kodular is targeting Android 11 (API 30).
(But it’s true, it’s a bit misleading.)

Android 10 devices:
requestLegacyExternalStorage works regardless of targetSdkVersion

Android 11 devices:

  • targetSdkVersion = 29: requestLegacyExternalStorage → works
  • targetSdkVersion = 30: requestLegacyExternalStorage → ignored

Maybe someone from the Kodular team can confirm this. @Diego @Vishwas @Mika
