When copying or moving hidden files, it throws security exception.

Can you share the code snippet that causes this error?

[sanjaykumarm]

Used this repo only to copy/move the file from one folder (WhatsApp Statuses) to another folder (Download -> NewFolder or any Folder)

[anggrayudi]

Can you share the video record? It's not happening to me.

[sanjaykumarm]

As you can see here, only folder copied/created but not the files within it. This is happening for some of the Samsung phones only. In Realme, Pixel phones etc working fine.

No longer appears in v1.5.4:

OS.12.copy.hidden.folders.mp4

The folder is copied successfully:

Hello bro, thank you so much for update.

So were you able to reproduce the same issue what I told ? Did you fix it/I mean change the code related to this ? Because I can't see this in release version history note.

[anggrayudi]

I don't know which part that fixes the code. But after testing the same scenario like you've provided in the video, the issue disappears with v1.5.4. That's why I didn't mention this issue in release notes. But you can try with v1.5.4 again, and if the issue persists, then I'll reopen it.

[sanjaykumarm]

Okay I tested it again but same. Nothing changed.

[anggrayudi]

Well, I really can't figure out the root cause. I've tested it with multiple devices using Android 12, but here you have an intermittent issue. I'll reopen it. Let's see if there's someone facing this issue too, maybe she/he can give us a hint.
