Getting EACCES (Permission denied) for manually added files for android version 11 and above. sdk version 30 and above

[pruthvirajkarurcodewave]

Hi i am able to access files external directory files using following path. RNFS.ExternalStorageDirectoryPath + '/Documents/myFolder'

I am able to create folder and files in this path and also able to read them.

But if i try to add a file manually into the same path and then the read fails with the error "EACCES (Permission denied)".

I checked the permission of both the files, and both manually and programatically created files have same access. I am stuck here to resolve this issue like forever now. what could be the issue with manually added files ?

const folderPath=RNFS.ExternalStorageDirectoryPath + '/Documents/myFolder';
    var fileSearchString = '/test.txt';
    var finalFileToSearch = folderPath + fileSearchString;

RNFS.readDir(folderPath)
      .then(result => {
         console.log('GOT RESULT', result);
 
        // stat the first file
        return Promise.all([RNFS.stat(result[0].path), result[0].path]);
      })
      .then(statResult => {
        if (statResult[0].isFile()) {
          // if we have a file, read it

 
           return RNFS.readFile(finalFileToSearch, 'utf8');
        }
        return 'no file';
      })
      .then(contents => {
        // log the file contents
         console.log('File Contents : ', contents);
 
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.log('ERROR  >>>> ', err.message, err.code);

      });

This above is happening only for android SDK api >29 / android 11 and above. I am able to access files for android 10 and below.
