Use on Android 11 without external file storage access

[Fi-Taka]

Is it possible to use this SDK on Android 11, where access for READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is not permitted? I have not been able to get things working thus far on v2.5.7:

• Using ziggeo.startCameraRecorder() gets stuck repeatedly flashing the "Camera, Audio, and Write storage access is needed to make recording" message (once you give camera and audio permissions) - probably because the write storage permission request will immediately fail at the OS-level.
• Using ziggeo.startFileSelector() results in an empty page with the "Read storage access is needed to select a file" message, probably for the same reason as the above bullet point.
• Using ziggeo.videos().create() is simply creating an "empty" video file in the dashboard. With Android 11, we must now access media through the contentResolver, which results in a URI with the scheme content://. Even if I then copy this into a File in internal app storage, the Ziggeo SDK seems to fail to find the contents to upload (although again, an "empty" video is created on the server). I'm not entirely sure why this is - perhaps the SDK can't access the app's internal storage. This also fails if I attempt to pass the content:// URI path or copied internal file path into the argsMap for the file key-value pair.

Is there anything more I can do here? Would it be possible to have ziggeo.videos().create accept java.io.InputStream?

@Fi-Taka are you able to find any workaround for this?

@Fi-Taka implementation 'com.ziggeo:android-sdk:2.6.20' fixed this issue for me.
