Yes , the file component needs the write permission for writing files to the app specific directory , and the read permission for reading from the app specific directory,seems that it is a bug , see here:
And again my “beloved” - apparently never ending - topic “permissions”:
When I save a text in the private or in the app-specific directory (ASD), WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissison is requested in both cases. If I deny, none of the text files are saved / created.
No permissions (READ / WRITE) should be required for these (private) directories. Under Android 10 and especially under Android 11, the ASD is of outstanding importance (→ scoped storage).
@Kodular Therefore, remove the permissions…
Hello especially to the developers,
for several reasons I want to switch from App Inventor to Kodular. Unfortunately, Kokular also has a permission issue (READ_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) when saving to an app-specific folder. I have already posted this issue in the App Inventor Forum, but have not received a satisfactory answer.
I would like to save files in the so-called “app-specific (private) external storage”. According to Google, this does not require READ_ / WRITE_EXTERNAL STORAGE permissio…
Fortunately , there is an extension here
That doesn’t need a permission to read /write files in the app specific directory.
