Read/Writing data in `android/data/org.citra.emu/files/citra-emu/sdmc` #943

Hello

Commit hash: https://github.com/weihuoya/citra/commit/b3255eecb2c346d93e25f19c4e55561c4b48fc84 Release tag: 20240520 System: Retroid Pocket 4 Pro (Not so relevant i believe)

Issue: I'm currently using Citra_MMJ_20240520_StorageAccess.apk. I would like to maintain a backup copy by syncing data in my citra-emu folder with my PC.

However, the sync fails as data inside the folder sdmc seems to have some read/write protection. Im wondering if this is an issue specific with Android 13 or if it's a misconfiguration on my side.

As an example, there is no issue with syncing the citra-emu folder if i were to use the Retroarch's liberto core instead (Which stores the emulator files in a user defined location).

Also if it matters, the android/data/org.citra.emu/files/citra-emu/ that i am referring to is the internal storage one. The SD card/external storage android/data/org.citra.emu/files/citra-emu/ doesnt seem to have anything inside it even after installing the application.

Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks!

So after some further investigation, this seems to be an issue with Android 13's later file updates restricting access to Android/data folders instead of an innate issue with Citra.

It would be nice if we could get citra files outside of that folder but i suppose this is an android specific issue we can't do much about.
