Storage permissions suddenly stopped working

Hi!

I need acces to a file inside "/storage/emulated/0/.config/". It was working perfectly since last week. The permissions seem to be granted and the app ask for them. So everything seem correctly but is not working.

I'm using Unity 2019.3.1f1 (64-bit)

Storage path is calculated using this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. AndroidJavaClass jc = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Environment");
3. this.storagePath = jc.CallStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("getExternalStorageDirectory").Call<string>("getAbsolutePath");

Permissions are called using this:

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2. #if PLATFORM_ANDROID
3.             if (!Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission(Permission.ExternalStorageRead))
4.             {
5.                 Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.ExternalStorageRead);
6.             }
7.  
8.             if (!Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission(Permission.ExternalStorageWrite))
9.             {
10.                 Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.ExternalStorageWrite);
11.             }
12. #endif

Inside the manifest.xml

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
3. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
4.  

and there is no line like <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="true" />

In the editor this is the setup:



To read file:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  if (File.Exists(_path))
3.             {
4.                 Debug.Log("File exists: " + _path);
5.             }
6.             else
7.             {
8.                 Debug.Log("File no exists: " + _path);
9.                 return;
10.             }
11.  
12. using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(_path))
13.             {
14.                 while (!sr.EndOfStream)
15.                 {
16.                     string currentLine= sr.ReadLine();
17.                     //Debug.Log("currentLine: " + currentLine);
18.  
19.                     this.CheckLine(currentLine, _path);
20.                 }
21.             }

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

 

Maybe the solution is here https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/storage#all-files-access

Including requestLegacyExternalStorage = true to manifest does the trick.
