Selecting photos doesnt work on Android Q

See original GitHub issue

All latest…

Selecting a photo returns this error: Asset '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20190920_122446.jpg' cannot be found.

And doing something like this: var img = imageSourceModule.fromFile(selected.android.toString()); results in this error: Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20190920_122446.jpg: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

Does this have something to do with the new Scoped Storage Framework?

For anybody that finds this, @dicksmith pointed this out:

Fun fact, if you want nativescript-imagepicker to work on Android 10, gotta target it (API 29) and add this to the application declaration in the manifest:

<application
  ...
    android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
  ...
</application>

@DimitarTodorov is that what I was missing?

It’s no longer allowed to use android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" if you’re targeting Android 11. From May 5th, I think, we’ll no longer be allowed to submit apps with this flag.
