How do you request and grant → MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on devices with Android 11+? I am aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google, but - let’s assume - the app is only intended for private use or for special users.
permissions5.aia (7.3 KB)
permissions5.apk (4.6 MB)

I also declared this permission in the Manifest:

If you request WRITE permission on Android 11, this permission will NOT be granted because it no longer exists on Android 11+. (This is currently a bug in AI2 and Niotron). Instead of WRITE, however, READ permission is granted (on Android 11+).

It works the same way on Niotron, try this on your Android 11+ device:
manageExtStorage_Niotron.apk (4.6 MB)

I think manage_external_storage permission against Google policy, we can’t update app by using this permission directly…

Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google. However, let’s assume the app is only intended for private use or for special users or for other app stores.
