(Take image and save to app) camera component still asks for WRITE permission

[Anke]

Also, I want to press a button which opens the camera, I take a picture and it gets saved to the tinydb as well as shown on the picture field and when the app is closed and opened at another time, the picture should still be visible at the same spot.

So, with the Companion everything works, but when I compile the app the picture taking doesn't work. It gives me the following error:

Yes, this is another bug. → @ewpatton

The Camera component saves the picture in the ASD for devices with Android > 9. This doesn't require WRITE permission, which by the way is no longer available under Android 11.

But as a work-around, the problem can be bypassed if → DefaultFileScope is set to Legacy in the Designer:

Through this READ and WRITE are declared in the Manifest for all Android versions. WRITE permission for Android 11 actually makes no sense, however, because as I said, it is no longer available under Android 11. But the (wrong) logic of the Camera component requests this permission incorrectly.

So you have to grant this permission (also on devices with Android 10+, which of course should not be the case):
