Here are all declared permissions in the Manifest:
There is no CAMERA permission!

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>

So this permission has to be declared:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

Shouldn't the camera component add this ?

Try this one:

Uninstall your app beforehand.

TIMAI2 · June 22, 2021, 2:07pm

@Anke

Have a look at the manifest on this one...(which installs and works)

Anke · June 22, 2021, 2:18pm

Yes, of course.
I have no idea, we can only puzzle what is going on.

Anke · June 22, 2021, 2:19pm

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

spooky...

Anke · June 22, 2021, 2:28pm

I built the APK with the aia and the following permissions are declared in the Manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Citizenreport_2.apk giving me "invalid file name" when applied to Genymotion Emulator (Android 10)

TIMAI2 · June 22, 2021, 2:40pm

OK, I installed CitizenReport_2.apk on my Android 11 real device. After taking a photo, I got the error 201 !!

Asks for permissions to File and Media, Camera and Location on first run

The other thing is the "this app was built for an older version of Android" as above....

Anke · June 22, 2021, 2:49pm

What does that mean "invalid file name"?

TIMAI2 · June 22, 2021, 2:51pm

Just the error message it gives, don't know why, but as said, installed OK on real device, through Drive.

Anke · June 22, 2021, 2:52pm

No wonder:

So the Manifest was customized by the user (or anyone).

deff_brian · June 22, 2021, 2:57pm

how to i get the new version of app inventor ?my version is from 3 years ago

TIMAI2 · June 22, 2021, 2:58pm

Are you using an offline version on your computer ?

deff_brian · June 22, 2021, 2:59pm

yes i using offline version

Anke · June 22, 2021, 3:01pm

@deff_brian Btw, the targetSdkVersion must be ≥ 29.
In addition, you cannot upload / publish / update this app in the Play Store.
