PathAccessException when reading non-media files on Android 13 after getDirectoryPermission

[tomekit]

I am selecting: "Testupload" folder for upload which contains two files, image.jpg and contacts.vcf.

I can read image OK, but when I try to read contents of: contacts.vcf I get the PathAccessException. I can get the file length for contacts.vcf using: file.lengthSync();, but I can't get the contents.

Saf saf = Saf("~");
bool? isGranted = await saf.getDirectoryPermission(grantWritePermission: true, isDynamic: true);
final filePaths = await saf.getFilesPath();

filePaths?.forEach((absolutePath) {
  final file = File(absolutePath);
  final test = file.readAsBytesSync(); // PathAccessException: Cannot open file, path = '/storage/emulated/0/Testupload/contacts.vcf' (OS Error: Permission denied, errno = 13)
}

I am using:
• Flutter version 3.10.0 on channel stable at /opt/flutter

I can reproduce it on Pixel 5 API 33 emulator as well as on real device SM-M127F (Android 13). I haven't tested it on older devices.

Any idea why I can't read non-media files?

I think that with SAF one is not supposed to read file "directly" but needs to operate on Content URI's, I've added specific method to add content URI in my fork: https://github.com/ivehement/saf/compare/master...tomekit:saf:master
