Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project in Kodular, and I’ve run into an issue I hope someone can help me understand or solve.

I want to access the Android/data folder on Android 11 and above, but I know that direct file access to that location is now restricted due to scoped storage introduced by Google. I’ve read that the only way to access this folder is by using the Storage Access Framework (SAF).

However, I’m not sure how to implement this properly in Kodular.
how can i use it

Please mention the source.
It was more of a hack/workaround, than an official method.

Here it has been said

SAF can give you access to 90% of the file system.
But you can’t access /Android/data and /Android/obb dir and its childs.

I just need access to the Android/data folder, nothing else.

It is generally not possible anymore
It does not look as you read the previous answers, why?

If you do not plan to publish the app in Google Play, you also can try
