Hello,
It seems like some apps don’t have some permissions that are needed to work normally. When I go in the app to give them the permissions, it says : no permissions asked. When I have a look at Permission Pilot, it says: 1 permission authorized on 3 permissions asked. The two that are blocked are the ones regarding the read/write to external memory. Seems also that almost all my other apps have the same blocked permissions…
What can I do? I’m wondering if I need to debug it with adb…
thanks
I have Motorola g 2024 phone I bought with openmobile.
My Mindustry game app permissions weren’t allowed to read/write external media. So I wasn’t able to upload data from a first device to my phone.
I had to give access with adb and clear cache.
Then it worked fine.
Cheers
First, thanks for buying from me!
Interesting, let me see if I can do some debugging. I wonder if it is something my my build, or if it is broader. The only phone I have available with an official iodéOS build that also has a microSD slot is a Brax3 test unit.
@Techno_libre using the Brax3, there is no permission toggle either under “AppInfo”. Inside the game, under “Settings” I was able to export to SD card. then attempting to import the export, by navigating to the SD card “export.zip” and tapping it closed the game (as expected as it presumably imported). This behavior matches what I see on a test Moto G (2024), your same device with presumably the same build (from me).
So maybe this is working? I don’t have any actual game data to observe if the import succeeded or not. Silly question but did you tap on the 3 bars top left when you selected import to see if you could change from the internal storage to the external? Was the external storage listed you just couldn’t select it, or was it not listed at all?
Lastly, I do see there is a “force allow apps on external … regardless of manifest values” toggle in Developer Options, but this was not selected and I don’t think needed (the app isn’t installed to external…)??

My theory is if in your “in-app file browser” if the current location is “a few levels deep” in the main storage then you don’t see the “top left” hamburger menu to select another drive. If you go to the root of the “main storage” then the hamburger appears and you can open the sidebar to select the SD card (or other drive)?
