Changes to file writing system
Now, all components have their own FileScope
These are the components - firebase storage, download, audio picker, camera viewer, FTP, Google drive, QR code and wallpaper.
Let us know if we missed any component
All picker components(AudioPicker, VideoPicker, ImagePicker) no more writes to storage. On their Picked event, you have path and contentUri.
This prevents your app from rewriting the same file. Using this way, you can even play 1.5 GB or more bigger videos without any crashes.
Both path and contentUri can be used to point the picked file.
if you want to rewrite the picked file in storage, you can use File.CopyContentUri
As we know, we need to ask for dangerous permissions at runtime after Android 6.0 but we can only ask the permissions which is declared in app’s AndroidManifest.xml. To declare the permissions in AndroidManifest.xml, you can upload the permissions.txt file in your app’s assets with all required permissions.
You can install any extension in just 1 click and you will never miss any update. However, there are very less extensions listed currently. We would be grateful if you want to list your extensions in our extension store
To open extension store, you need to press Alt + E
