Testing the next release of MIT App Inventor (nb187)

@Patryk_F

Should android10 also allow writing to shared folders without write permission?

The point here is not whether or not WRITE permission is granted, just whether WRITE is declared in the Manifest. As I said several times, WRITE can no longer be granted under Android 11.

@Taifun

therefore the permission should be defined like this

Yes, see also here:

Release nb187: Copy a text file / image from assets to shared storage (→ Android 10+)

By the way, I've already mentioned that several times before:

If requestLegacyExternalStorage for Android 10 is not used, then set maxSdkVersion to 28, otherwise to 29.

Android 11 and Storage-File

On Android 10 devices requestLegacyExternalStorage will continue to work regardless of targetSdk On Android 11 devices for new apps targeting SDK 30 requestLegacyExternalStorage is ignored / false.
