Uncaught forbidden path error when using writeFile from @tauri-apps/plugin-fs

[ProfNuru]

I am trying to save an image to disk and after trying several options, this is the closest I have gotten:

const uploadedFile = await writeFile(original_image.${extension}, bytes, { baseDir: BaseDirectory.AppLocalData, });

Basically, I read the uploaded image file as Uint8Array bytes and write it to AppLocalData. But this throws an error which says Uncaught forbidden path.

I added this to main.json in capabalities:
... "fs:default", { "identifier": "fs:allow-exists", "allow": [{ "path": "$APPDATA/*" }] }
I also have this set up in tauri.conf.json:
"assetProtocol": { "enable": true, "scope": { "allow": ["$APPDATA/**", "$RESOURCE/**", "$DOCUMENT/**"], "deny": ["$APPDATA/db/*.stronghold"] } }
I am open to any better way to save the image file. Thank you all in advanced
