Steps to reproduce

Hello,

I'm currently using Permission_handler package version 10.4.3 in Flutter, and I ran into an issue with targetSdkVersion in Android.

When I set targetSdkVersion to 33, I get "Permission Denied" issues when trying to save images from my app to phone gallery. Despite trying different solutions to address this issue, I was only able to resolve it by reverting targetSdkVersion to version 32.

Expected results

I am seeking guidance on how to resolve this issue without compromising the requirements to target Android 13 (API level 33) or higher. Any ideas or suggestions on how to make the Permission_handler package compatible with the latest Android SDK would be greatly appreciated.

Actual results

• Setting targetSdkVersion to 33 causes "Permission Denied" when saving images. *Reverting to targetSdkVersion 32 solves the problem, but it causes a warning to appear from the Google Play Console, stating that the application must target Android 13 (API level 33) or higher, as shown in the image.

I have the same problem with @Joe2316 . Did you find out the solution?

Hi @Joe2316, @nguyenvanan18031993!

Could it be that you are requesting the wrong permission? Since Android 13, the permissions for accessing files have had an update. You can read about it in our FAQ: https://pub.dev/packages/permission_handler#faq and on the Android documentation located here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#granular-media-permissions.

I found the solution after adding permission to androidmanifest.xml @JeroenWeener @nguyenvanan18031993 @Joe2316

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO"/>

then permission_handler (request) "look to photo"

await Permission.photos.request();

Worked for me .. Thanks :)) i was request storage but didn't work for me, final status = await Permission.storage.request(); but after await Permission.photos.request(); works good
