When I set flutter permission_handler version to ^10.1.0 I get the following error:

Because saf 1.0.3+3 depends on permission_handler ^9.2.0 and no versions of saf match >1.0.3+3 <2.0.0, saf ^1.0.3+3 requires permission_handler ^9.2.0.
So, because myapp depends on both permission_handler ^10.1.0 and saf ^1.0.3+3, version solving failed.
pub get failed (1; So, because myapp depends on both permission_handler ^10.1.0 and saf ^1.0.3+3, version solving failed.)
exit code 1

I am unable to access .statuses folder directly. When I click on the "grant button" it does not directly open the ,statuses folder and open the root directory and the "use this folder" button is unclickable. User have to open manually this folder to get access.

here is the directory which I want to access: saf = Saf( '/storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses');

Running "flutter pub get" in appnote...
Because every version of saf depends on permission_handler ^9.2.0 and appnote depends on permission_handler ^10.0.0, saf is forbidden. So, because appnote depends on saf ^1.0.3+3, version solving failed. pub get failed (1; So, because appnote depends on saf ^1.0.3+3, version solving failed.)

This exception appear when I try to open media directory

Permission Denial: reading com.android.externalstorage.ExternalStorageProvider uri content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary%3AAndroid%2Fmedia%2Fcom.whatsapp%2FWhatsApp%2FMedia%2F.Statuses/document/primary%3AAndroid%2Fmedia%2Fcom.whatsapp%2FWhatsApp%2FMedia%2F.Statuses/children from pid=32755, uid=10159 requires that you obtain access using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or related APIs

Fix #14 & #19: upgrade permission_handler to ^10.2.0.0

• update permission_handler dependencie from ^9.2.0 to ^10.2.0
• change compileSdkVersion from 31 to 33 to be compatible with permission_handler

Writing to external directory is required for certain cases and it gives too much complexities in achieving this.

Play console does not allow apps to be published with "External manage" permissions, that is where SAF comes in.

Now, my suggestion is simple. Why don't API allow an external root folder in the name of Application ID i.e. com.MyApp which is already unique to that App. Just like "GetApplicationsDocumentsDirectory", there can be "GetApplicationsRootDirectory" which always gives a folder based application ID with full access only to that App with the same appication ID.

So any app from play store cannot access this folder (i.e. the security checking inside API can be made to achieve this). If possible attach the publisher's digital signature optionally to this.

This method has only one issue. If a develper creates an App with some one else's Application ID and don't publish but some how installs manually in user's phone. This is not an issue actually because the App has not come from play store , so don't bother about security issues.

Hi, I was wondering if we can sort the list of strings by their creation time or modified time. I'm making the use of cache method which returns list of string but it returns in the random order

Saf saf = Saf("Android/media/com.whatsapp.w4b/WhatsApp Business/Media/.Statuses");
  bool? isSync = await saf.sync();
      if (isSync != null && isSync) {
        List<String>? _paths = await saf.getCachedFilesPath();
        if (_paths != null) {
          loadImage(_paths);
        }

 void loadImage(List<String> paths) {
    imageAssets = paths
        .map((item) => item)
        .where((item) => item.endsWith('.jpg'))
        .toList();
  }

isSync getting null and _paths getting empty after 3-4 days from install app Other device working well but in realme device (Android 11) this problem happen.

Hello if possible can you add read or write access to data or obb folder. There is native File explorer that allows that here is commit for that. Thanks :D. https://github.com/zhanghai/MaterialFiles/commit/e356a9c5dc3f60d24a950e3d6f42018bf522c3e1

I want to copy the files from the cache to the directory after modifying them. But asf.sync() doesn't work. It just copies the files in directory to cache. what should I do?
