In this guide I show you, how to request and grant → MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
on devices with Android 11+. Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google. However, let’s assume the app is only intended for private use or for special users or for other app stores.
This permission must be declared in the Manifest (since it is not declared the Companion app you can't test this with Companion):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
Here is a small extension that declares this permission automatically in the Manifest (and let you check the API level of the device):
AllFilesPermission.aix (4.3 KB)
Currently you must still set → DefaultFileScope
to → Legacy
in the Designer.
