AI2 Files block - shared scope file storage cannot read / write text files to media folders

Both storage permissions are required on all Android versions. Unfortunately incorrectly even on Android 11+ (meaning it should work on Android 11+ without any storage permissions).

In order for both permissions to be declared in the Manifest on all Android version (even on Android 11+), → DefaultFileScope must be set to → Legacy in the designer.

Note: WRITE permission is no longer avialable on Android 11, but is still wrongly needed to make it work on Android 11+ devices.

Check this app (especially on your Android 11+ devices). Download the aia, build the APK and install it:
textFile_save.aia (2.7 KB)

I've already pointed out this bug countless times, last also on Niotron.

This is definitely my last statement that I will make on this subject. Too many times I've asked the MIT team for an answer/clarification on this.
