Still permission issue unsolved Android 11

[Benko111]

I still get this ghastly "the app requires storage permissions" error trying to access the app. Even though I actually did manually grant storage permissions since I knew it was an issue. No matter what I tried, revoking and granting again trying F-Droid version and GitHub version before I realised they're both identical files and so I still didn't have a chance to try this potentially dead useful app. Android 11 running Lineage not rooted, with Google framework. Galaxy S10.

If I can be of any help reproducing and fixing the issue just contact me.

Have you guys check the version 1.0? It works on my phone.

seems to be available on f-droid as "gallery", but I'm sure only because the donation account matches.

Same issue with app version 1.1 running on my S10+ running Android 12, API Level 31, date:11/02/2025
Tried installing from the apk and F-Droid, both won't work. The exact same apk works on my S7 running Android 9.

Clearing cache, data, manually granting permissions and multiple reinstalls with phone restarts all fail.
It gives the "The app requires storage permissions!" toast but there is no prompt bubble showing options to allow or not allow.

3 possible way to replicate:

1. Most likely, I think I accidently clicked "Do not allow" the very first time and that might have fucked it up, but fresh reinstalls should fix no?
2. I had updated from Android 11 to 12 after the app had been run once.
3. Combination of both?

Before posting this comment I tried version 1.0 and it works perfectly fine!!!
It asks for permissions properly when launching the app.
Quick source code comparison: Base:1.0 Compare with 1.1

Came to say the same, version 1.1 on Android 11. Got a fresh install from the GitHub release page, and it doesn't show me a permissions toast either, just that alert.

I couldn't seem to give it external storage perms on my device; the best I could give it was media perms. Same thing going on.

There is no difference between the versions if you can get it to run, so I would just use version 1.0 for now.
