Permission denied running version command when targeting Android Q

Not sure if it’s because I am running Android Q beta, or I’m doing something wrong but I am getting the following:

2019-07-26 12:29:01.320 24329-24408/com.android.testffmpeg E/FFmpeg: Exception while trying to run: [/data/user/0/com.android.testffmpeg/files/ffmpeg, -version] java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “/data/user/0/com.android.testffmpeg/files/ffmpeg”: error=13, Permission denied at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1050) at nl.bravobit.ffmpeg.ShellCommand.run(ShellCommand.java:15)

All I am doing is calling this function:

`
private fun versionFFmpeg() { FFmpeg.getInstance(TestFFmpegApplication.instance.applicationContext) .execute(arrayOf(“-version”), object : ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() { override fun onSuccess(message: String?) { Timber.d(message) }

            override fun onProgress(message: String?) {
                Timber.d(message)
            }
        })

}

`

The only setup I have in the code is this:

implementation ‘nl.bravobit:android-ffmpeg:1.1.7’

Can anyone see what it is I am missing, or perhaps there is an issue running on Android Q?

Hi, I didn’t try it myself but probably you can fix it with adding

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

to application in AndroidManifest.xml

Just change targetSdkVersion 29 to 28 in build.gradle

It worked for me.
