Z zetadan Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 6, 2013 #1 I just uploaded an app to Google Play (FunCalc Lite link posted in B4A Share Your Creations) and it is requiring "Development Tools - Test access to protected storage" permission. Is this because I'm using a statement like: Code: Copy If File.Exists (File.DirDefaultExternal,"cb1.txt") Then Is it just that I am checking to see if the file exists? Is there a better place to save the file? I would like to remove this permission as it seems unnecessary, but I don't know how. I am waiting to see the first statistics on the installs and don't want any negative reviews so I'm trying to fix this quickly. Dan

Z zetadan Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 7, 2013 #3 Thanks Erel, Is there a way to save date on the device without requiring this permission? Dan Upvote 0
