> And why not completly removing this whole methods `hasWritePermission` and `getWritePermission`? since cordova-plugin-file v8 requires cordova-android 12+ with support for Android 24+, while `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` is not supported since 19. `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` is still used between API 24-28. It's not used with Scoped Storage mechanism. Between API-24-28, the permission is not required for your app's external data directory, but is required to write to external shared directories (e.g. the `Downloads` directly). But there are other significant issues with using the external filesystem on API 29+ that makes using a filesystem oriented API not feasible and I feel like we should just simply drop support for it in favour of media store plugin that interfaces with the native MediaStore instead. If we do go that route, then we can drop the permissions and probably simplify the file plugin significantly. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
