Maybe bug: User prompted for Filesystem access

[lincolnthree]

Thanks so much for getting this plugin converted to Capacitor!

Description

After installing and configuring the code-push plugin, doing some preliminary testing seems to show that users are required to accept the following permission prompt:

Is this normal, or have I done something wrong? It seems this plugin should be able to function without writing to External storage, but I am not an Android permissions expert.

Reproduction

1. Ensure update is available in AppCenter
2. Run the app with this plugin installed
3. Call codePushUtil.sync()

It might be related with https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-plugins/issues/248 .

Can you try with @capacitor/filesystem 0.5.1 ?

@leo6104 I think this solved the issue. Running some final tests but I think it's working without prompt on 0.5.1.

Closing this as I believe it is resolved. Thanks!
