Samples : Android manifest about hockeysdk-xamarin HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch!
Since 5.0.0 we added android:maxSdkVersion="18" to manifest in our side, because (quote from android docs)

Beginning with Android 4.4 (API level 19), it's no longer necessary for your app to request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission when your app wants to write to its own application-specific directories on external storage

So, if you don't add tools:node="replace" into your manifest, this attribute will apply. Declaring the tools:node="replace" manifest merging strategy later in the dependency tree solves this problem and allows use WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in all android versions.

Probably this example a bit outdated, we'll check it.

Best,
Ivan

Thank you for your quick answer !

I was suspecting this behaviour but was not really sure, I got it now.
You can definitively close this discussion which is not an issue but a misunderstood after trying the sample project.

Best,
