Exporting Save Error

[ProPaint]

So after building the app I tried to load some saves with success but the export raise an exception.

I think it might be due to the fact that I use an Android 11 device. The backup file is properly exported as shown by the console in Debugger mode.

Probably due to Android 11:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

[ProPaint]

I tried adding this to the manifest and it doesn't change anything. I don't understand why it's not woring as I'm still targeting Android 9. (I tried targetting A11 and opting out of scoped storage without luck, I even lost read access doing that...)

I have had the same problem on Android 9, but I found a Workaround for my device:

• Move your savefiles to <Internal Storage>/Android/data/com.ProjectPokemon.PKHeX/ (I used the app "Files by Google")
• Now open your savefiles from <Internal Storage>/Android/data/com.ProjectPokemon.PKHeX/, you might now be able to save changes without changing anything from the app

Edit: My similar error on Android 9 with a Nokia 8 device is, The app has storage access allowed. I installed the app via an apk built by github actions. This app might need to use platform specfic Xamarin.Android storage apis to avoid such errors.

I don't have much experience with this stuff can you explain where exactly I have to put this code, how I open it, e.t.c.?

Unfortunately I tried that already and it didn't work! I'm on Android 11. (I think it's supposed to be put with the other permissions under https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX.Mobile/blob/master/PKHeX.Android/Properties/AndroidManifest.xml) but it didn't do anything😭

I'm way too dumb to figure out the proper solution. So for my rooted Android 11 I just got it to write the edited save file to the PKHeX Backups folder which is located in data/data/com.ProjectPokemon.PKHeX/files (you can't access this folder unless you're rooted) since ProPaint mentioned that backup file writes but not the edited file. So I made a super crappy FileUtil.cs (https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX.Mobile/blob/master/PKHeX.Mobile/Logic/FileUtil.cs) edit beginning at line 69 which will at least tide me over until the next commits

Building on commit 3316752 also raised a build error with regards to line 32 and 33 of https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX.Mobile/blob/master/PKHeX.Mobile/Logic/BindingUtil.cs

so I did what visual studio code told me to and edited those lines to

it seems to work without breaking things.... for now....

This works on Android 10.

Hey, if anyone is having this issue I made an update for android 11 that addresses it :) Hopefully it will be merged in here but for now you can access it at this fork.

@Isaac22Mora that error message is not present in the repo or the pipeline build. Do not report issues with other people's forks/logic.
