Hello, I also had a hard time with that recently. I believe the possible solutions (all need JNI AFAIK) are nicely described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58379655/3859568 As far as I understood the related QTBUG entries, none of these will be part of Qt5.
You wouldn't need these as long as using requestLegacyExternalStorage and TARGET SDK 29 (as you write), because with that combination you can write to user-visible locations anyhow, as you could before SDK 29, that's the purpose of this flag. But anyhow: Can you really use Target API 29? Isn't API 30 required by google now, which makes requestLegacyExternalStorage useless? API 30 is the default in Qt 5.15.9, too ... And furtheron: Are you possibly using CMake, where setting the target SDK is broken with Qt 5.15, as of https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-103608 ? Hope this helps, Markus Am Mi., 25.
