Off Topic

Hi Niotron Coders, I have my App on store(Playstore) it has almost one year there, but yesterday i tried to update it unfortunately i got rejection from google that i’m using (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) permission. So i need to know is that permission default placed in Manifest when we build our Apps or its just caused by some external Extensions.

I think it is due to SDK 30
Because Manage External Storage is not permitted in Android 11

What !!

@connor Have you directly asked the same permission
You should not use this permission until you want to Store anything in the Device of user as the permission is so much stronger then WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
And as the app built from Niotron or Mit app inventor they both lacks the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in there manifest and so you need to use an extension to add that permission in manifest of the app and you should Also promt the users that your app is accessing the storage and you are not using any personal information or anything and also promt the window where the user is enable the app to allow all files access

And one more thing for most work READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is enough
Here go through theses articles to know more :-

Thank you
Aditya

Really ? This is permitted in app but not by google to use it for any app
If this was not permitted the there would be no access of storage for antivirus apps , Backup and restore apps
Document management apps

here see this article and solve your query for
(MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) permission

Thanks @iaditya_nanda my App function doesn’t even need MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. So i wonder how the permission has been added in my app manifest. I tried to delete a certain aix which looks suspicious but nothing help. Also i have tried to remove the permission manual but i have stuck in converting apk to aab.

No, this permission is only intended for Android 11+. But it is only granted by Google if it is necessary for the core functionality of the app.
