Question about Files, Scopes and Android Levels (US and EU)

[Taifun]

I think, the confusion are the 2 different file scopes we have

1. in the Screen properties the DefaultFileScope and
2. the file scope of the file component

as @Anke already pointed out "endless times" , btw. last time was here

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 (e…

unfortunately up to now without feedback from @ewpatton, still looking forward to it...

what we have to do currently (as far as I understand it) to get "it" running on all Android versions is

1. in the Screen properties set the DefautlFileScope to Legacy to get the correct permissions in the manifest and
2. set the File scope of the file component to what you need in your app, for example
   a) if you like to store/read to/from shared storage, you set File Scope to Shared
   b) if you like to store/read to/from ASD, you set file scope to App
