My topography app ATLAS11 makes via GetSafeDirDefaultExternal a map in which the user can put new information (Self made maps / self mad short music / self made info on a city in the register etc.) Today I updated Android to v. 13 and now I connect my laptop (Win10 pro) to the tablet and when I go to Android/data I do NOT SEE the directory that is made. What happened? Is Android 13 hiding the data mad by my app?
(N.B. it is essential and important that a user can add private information.)

I thought that you should be able to see all the Android/data folders when connected to a Windows desktop, though apps on on the connected device can't. At least on my Android 13 Pixel 4a connected to my Window 10 Pro desktop it seems that I can see everything including folders that seem to be app specific.

Maybe because we have enabled the developers option on the Android phone and thus disable a number of Android restrictions to make debugging possible, because how Tjitte Dijkstra determines this as a user or developer does he not write?
