Testing the next release of MIT App Inventor (nb187)

Here is a test APK that only works with the File component (no extension is used):

Tested on Android 11 (Pixel 2XL).

Bugs:

  1. File.Exists from assets does not work with the APK (Companion works).
    grafik

  2. WRITE permission must be declared in the Manifest so that it works after the automatic request of storage permission.
    If the permission is denied:
    "Error 908: The permission READ_/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has been denied. Please ..." depending on which action is carried out.
    If the permission is granted, however, it works, although WRITE permission can of course no longer be granted under Android 11, since it no longer exists there.

  3. All shared folders work without problems, except /Documents.
    The folder /Download works with all file types (txt, jpg, mp3, ogg, mp4, ...).
    Non-media files (like .txt) should only work with /Download and /Documents.
