Android Question API 30 - MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Problem

Hi everyone,
with the obligation from November 2021 to update the apps on the Play Store with the SDK target 30, I followed this guide ( https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...cess-internal-external-storage-sdk-30.130411/ ) to make the apps compatible with the new versions of Android as regards access to the memory.

Everything works fine but one of these apps was rejected by the Play Store because according to them access to the memory was not necessary and they recommend using the Media Store API.

We have corrected the app by readjusting the various functions and we have completely eliminated all traces inherent to the "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission, nevertheless every version we publish is rejected because they insinuate that we must remove this permission, which has actually already been removed!

We no longer know where to turn, while removing all traces, the update we send does not pass, always for the same reason: does someone kindly know how we can solve it?

I attach the Manifest of the application, maybe we are missing something, thank you very much!

Thanks, I solved that problem by inserting a similar thing for each Activity.

Code: Copy 
Dim rp As RuntimePermissions
rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")

Now a similar problem has arisen with loading of User Wallpaper, in many parts of software the user default wallpaper is loaded in a PictureBox, the app crashes badly with this log:

Code: Copy 
** Activity (bugreportactivity) Create, isFirst = true **
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.blacksystem.professionallauncher/files/
(RemoteException) android.os.RemoteException: Remote stack trace:

Can you upload the generated Objects\AndroidManifest.xml file?

Here is the XML file generated: I do not understand why by removing all traces of "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE", they keep saying that the update does not pass for the same reason.
The only request that is made to the user is the basic one through RuntimePermissions.

I removed that from the Manifest too. The only thing left is the RuntimePermission, which is apparently essential to be able to save the data in the private folder of the app itself. They advised me to wait a few days before sending a new update for review, it seems we have entered an automatic rejection cycle...?

This is the way a large company like Google works, all automated without the ability to request assistance :(

I tried to remove the authorization request through RuntimePermission, as expected the app is unable to save any type of file and inevitably breaks.

For example, how can I create and access these folders if I don't request memory access permission via RuntimePermission?

Code: Copy 
PermissionsRequester.CheckAndRequest(PermissionsRequester.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

Code: Copy 
Public RootSettings As String = File.DirDefaultExternal & "/.Professional_Launcher/" 'Percorso Impostazioni del Software
Public RootGUI As String = File.DirDefaultExternal & "/.Professional_Launcher/.graphicsEngine/" 'Percorso Risorse Motore Grafico
Public RootContacts As String = File.DirDefaultExternal & "/.Professional_Launcher/.Contacts/" 'Percorso Contatti
Public RootOperators As String = File.DirDefaultExternal & "/.Professional_Launcher/Operators/" 'Percorso Risorse Motore Grafico
Public RootAppsFiles As String = File.DirDefaultExternal & "/.Professional_Launcher/.AppsFiles/" 'Percorso Files Applicazioni
Public RootGlobalServiceBackup As String = File.DirDefaultExternal & "/.GlobalServiceBackup" 'Percorso Backup Impostazioni del Software

Thanks, I solved that problem by inserting a similar thing for each Activity.

Code: Copy 
Dim rp As RuntimePermissions
rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")

Now a similar problem has arisen with loading of User Wallpaper, in many parts of software the user default wallpaper is loaded in a PictureBox, the app crashes badly with this log:

Code: Copy 
** Activity (bugreportactivity) Create, isFirst = true **

The interested part is this:

Code: Copy 
Public Sub GetUserWallpaper(ImageElements As ImageView)
    'Carica Sfondo dell'utente
    Dim R As Reflector
    Dim b As Bitmap
    Dim d As BitmapDrawable
    Dim TempImage1 As BitmapDrawable
    b.InitializeMutable(Activity.Width,Activity.Height)
    d.Initialize(b)
    R.Target = R.RunStaticMethod("android.app.WallpaperManager", "getInstance", Array As Object(R.GetContext), Array As String("android.content.Context"))
    TempImage1 = R.RunMethod("getDrawable")
    'Imposta Sfondo Utente
    ImageElements.Bitmap = TempImage1.Bitmap
End Sub

How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance :)
