Cannot attach a file to GMail for Android with Xamarin.forms

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I use the SimpleLogger plugin to create log files. Files are created in the /data/user/0/[PACKAGE_NAME]/files/.config/[NAME].log directory

So I added the following paths in file file_paths.xml: <files-path name = "internal_files" path = "." />

I know that my configuration is supported because if I remove this path, I get an error of type: Failed to find configured root which contains /data/data/com.agilitic.kibati/files/.config/kibati_log1. log

But when I want to send an email, Gmail tells me the following error: Permission denied for the attachment

I tried in PCL and Android.

I am using version 5.0.0 of the plugin, and my Android project use the target API26

Do I forget a setting?

Thanks

Best Regards

Julien

@lanarchyste did you try <files-path name = "internal_files" path = ".config/" />

I’ve created a separate issue to rework the sample logic using a content provider at a later stage.
