Permission denied on Huawei when trying to save file

[ursaklunIX]

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

• Huawei, Huawei P40 lite, EMUI 12.0.0

Please, provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

• CLI: 8.4.0

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

The problem is when I try to save file in Huawei device. Function "requestPermission('storage')" returns
{ "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE": "never_ask_again", "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE": "never_ask_again" }
without asking user to grant permission, but then when i try to create new file on external storage, i get the following error:
Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: java.io.IOException: Permission denied

I have no problem on android devices (android version 14, 12, 11 and 7).

Is there any code involved?

requestPermission("storage").then((response) => {
  const bytes = android.util.Base64.decode(pdfDocument.dokument, 0);
  const path = `${android.os.Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
    android.os.Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,
  ).getAbsolutePath()}/${pdfName}`;

  let toFile = File.fromPath(`${path}.pdf`);

  let i = 1;
  while (toFile.size > 0) toFile = File.fromPath(`${path} (${i++}).pdf`);

  toFile.writeSync(bytes);

  setTimeout(() =>
    this.modalService.openInfo({
      text: "DOCUMENT.save_to_device_successful",
      okText: "DOCUMENT.save_to_device_successful_ok",
    }),
  );
});

AndroidManifest.xml

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" tools:ignore="ScopedStorage"/>

@ursaklunIX sorry i dont have such a phone so i cant really help. But i would try to see what android version it is running as newer android versions dont use WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE anymore and you need to use SAF
