No permission to access files while importing programs #49

Closed quinvirE closed 2 years ago

quinvirE commented 2 years ago

Not able to import programs because of insufficient permissions on Android 12 (LineageOS 19.1). App permissions are set to access media files only. RAW files are not visible in the in-app browser.

App version: 3.0.14

Solved it by using Permission Manager X from F-droid

It seems this lets you access SDcard... <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

While Play store won't give this permission, you could put it in the apk in your download directory. As a non-google user, this is what I have to use anyway...

Google says Device-to-device data migration is a legitimate use of this permission, which is what import/export is for

. If your app includes a use case similar to any of the following, it's likely that it can request the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission:

File managers
Backup and restore apps
Anti-virus apps
Document management apps
On-device file search
Disk and file encryption
