Android Question Write Permission Duplicates at Console

[Scantech]

I can't use this

AddManifestText(<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
)

Google Console says

Upload failed
Duplicate declarations of permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE with different maxSdkVersions.

I don't even know what is the Version number? I just removed it from manifest and it uploaded ok. I am using FileProvider and hopefully no issues.

You did the right thing. The first snippet is required when the only external folder that you access is RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal.
