New/Modified Apps No Longer Work / Compile

HELLO ANKE
with Spanish to English translator.

It is the first time that I write in the forum, so that you take into account my profile, I am totally self-taught and I have used MIT intensively, for about 5 years, and I have developed a spectacular program for my company, very stable, without problems, I have used extensions of yours and I have resorted to hundreds of forums to solve my problems, everything works, IT WAS WORKING, since the latest version A14 sdk 34 nothing works for me I understand that Google improved access to folders, maybe something is right, sometimes from the gallery you saw files from my app, but the problem is that nothing works for me, I study and I would have to correct many things, I'M NOT INTERESTED FOR MY APP TO APPEAR IN THE PLAY STORE, is there a way to compile with appinventor, with an old version??, because my apps work perfectly on new devices, but I can't modify my app or correct something because it compiles differently and nothing works for me. thank you and thank you to all the developers, I have read them and studied from you

please elaborate... what exctly does not work anymore?
to just say "nothing" will not help very much...

Tainful, you are right, the thing about not working was not very specific, from what I read the extensions do not work and I understand that now I cannot save the files in the same places nor do I have free access to them.
I think the easiest thing would be to be able to continue compiling my app as before, that is, the previous version, if it is really not necessary for me to be in the playstore, the old compilations work, I am talking about June 2023

It looks you ate talking about the Android file access restrictions, see also Some basics on Android storage system

Tainful, thank you for your prompt response, meanwhile I was working, I uninstalled the extension and reinstalled tainfulfile, and the folder in which I decided to download the pdf file works. I'm going to study before the next question but I'm already having problems with the activity to be able to see the .pdf. It seems that I can no longer see it using another app like Adobe or Fast Reader

To view a pdf file using another app, the pdf file must be stored in shared storage, see again Some basics on Android storage system

Hello
I have already studied a lot and my progress has been slow, now I understand the different folders to save files, I have managed to download files from the web and put them in different folders, I have been practicing with . pdf files, before I used a third-party program adobe reader or fast pdf reader, I cannot access them with activity started, if I have achieved it with adobe, but it cannot read the file, before, in the previous version I could do everything, I am complicated with Android 14, I cannot work with my files. I still think it would be easier if I could go back, an old compiler, my apps previously compiled as apk work, but now I cannot modify them and compile them again, they stop working

Google changed the rules "for your own safety", so nowadays we have to play by these rules. .
