App is crashed on Android due to EACCES (Permission denied) about media HOT 11 CLOSED

Are you able to reproduce this issue at all with the example app in the example/ folder?

Without a reproduction, I'm not sure where to go with this. The one thing I can think of though is that this is an EACESS issue on the Downloads folder. The Downloads folder is used when you're getting an image from a URL as a staging location. The image is then moved into the album and deleted from Downloads. It's possible that if you're running two downloads on the same URL in quick succession, Android is having some sort of issue with the file getting deleted and re-created. Just a thought -- feel free to provide any evidence for or against that.

@nkalupahana I will check this in example folder later and let you know what the result will be.

I am not sure, if it's problem with Android restriction of moving and removing images. Because, it's reproducible when I open an app at the first time and try to download gif or image and It can be crashed.

But, the interesting thing, this is crashed only with savePhoto, saveGif, saveVideo inside. getAlbum works correctly. Also I was trying to change album name, but it doesn't work.

If it's on first open, it's likely a configuration issue, unless there's something wrong with your device specifically. Let me know what happens with the example app and we can take it from there.

@nkalupahana hello, I checked out example in https://github.com/capacitor-community/media and faced with the same issue:

As a result - app is crashed.

Hm, okay. Seems like an issue with your device specifically.

• Could you share your device model and OS version?
• With the example app, does it also only crash on the first save of an image? Is that the first save of any image (and then it works for any other image), or for the first time for any image/video from the Internet?
• If you save from base64, does the error occur?
• How much storage does your phone have left?

@nkalupahana
Yeah of course.

1. Xiaoma Mi 11 Lite. Android version: 12 SKQ1.210908.001
2. I haven't reproduced it at once. If you download several files from internet and base64 or video, eventually it will happend.
3. I haven't tested this specific case (will do this later)
4. I have 64GB (occupied 30.3 GB)

Is it possible to catch an error not to crash application? if it's difficult to resolve.

@edshkliaruk I have the same error, fixed it by adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" in AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    ....

@ericcch I added this param in AndroidManifest.xml but It didn't help me.

Crash is now caught in 5.3.0.
