For android versions which less than API 29 (android 10)

you need to request WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE .

otherwise it's already granted because of ScopedStorage that released at android 11.

you can still use WRITE_EXTERNAL _STORAGE in android 10 if you add requestLegacyStorage = true to your manifest, but thats will not work for greater versions .

you should read about ScopedStorage: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage

and update your manifest to:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
