MFile - a modified version of Sunny's EFile extension - Shared folders - storage permissions - Android 11+

[Anke]

Here is a modified version of Sunny’s EFile extension, which added some methods that are needed (among others things) for testing purposes with Companion & AKP. Because if you try to save in one of the Shared folders (/Documents or /Download) first with Companion it is not possible to do this without deleting the saved text file before testing with the APK and vice versa (at least on Android 11+). So the Delete & FileExists & API level methods are needed.

The Delete method exists with the File component, but incorrectly requests storage permissions on Android 11+. This bug does not exist with this extension.

Try this app. It saves a text file in the Shared folder /Documents. It should work without storage permissions on Android 11+ using the MFile extension.
If you try do use the File component (Checkbox disabled), you will get a permission error (“Error 908: The permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE has been denied. Please enable …”). In order to work with the File component you MUST declare WRITE permission in the Manifest manually.

Btw, this APK was build on the Beta server and targets SDK 31.
