Does fs plugin even work on android?

[Grandkahuna43325]

As of right now(fs version 2.0.0, tauri version 2.1.1) fs plugin doesn't seem to do anything besides throwing errors, at least for me. I assume I have correct permissions:

    {
      "identifier": "fs:scope",
      "allow": [
        {
          "path": "$DOWNLOAD"
        },
        {
          "path": "$DOWNLOAD/**"
        },
        {
          "path": "$APPDATA"
        },
        {
          "path": "$APPDATA/**"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "identifier": "fs:allow-write",
      "allow": [
        {
          "path": "$DOWNLOAD"
        },
        {
          "path": "$DOWNLOAD/**"
        },
        {
          "path": "$APPDATA"
        },
        {
          "path": "$APPDATA/**"
        }
      ]
    },

and correct code

        await copyFile("file.pdf", "file.pdf",  { fromPathBaseDir: BaseDirectory.AppConfig, toPathBaseDir: BaseDirectory.Download});

With this setup I don't get any errors, but I also don't get any files in Downloads directory. Can someone try to copy some file to Downloads directory on android?

It's not completely broken but it doesn't work well, at least if not combined with file dialogs. From the very limited testing i did in https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace/issues/1156#issuecomment-2575156381 it looks like by default you can only write into the app specific dirs and for the download/document dirs we may be missing something.

Is there someone working on it?
