You must build the APK, because this permission is not declared in the Companion's Manifest.

ok thanks a lot I'll try now

ok I think it works but is there a way to make it work on older versions of Android?

See also post #10 by @vknow360.

then no? I needed it to work on Android 9 too

and how can I select the apps I want to clean the cache? example:

There were not many storage restrictions in older versions.
Find external cache folder of all apps and then delete one by one.
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<package_name>/cache

I would suggest you to explore Files and Storage related topics in community, especially when you are trying copy feature of a full fledged App.

Where are these /cache folders?

Aren't they in internal storage?
/data/data/<packageName>/cache/ or
/data/user/0/<packageName>/cache/

Internal and external storage both have cache folders.

This is external cache folder.

and this is internal cache folders.

I am unable to recall whether internal one can be accessed by other apps or not.

On two of my test devices (Pixel, A13 + 14) I only found a cache folder (in the external storage) in 2 or 3 cases and only one of those was not empty. And that was the Telegram app.

So it seems that many apps use the cache folder in the internal storage.


In the companion apps of AI2, Kodular and Niotron, only Kodular has/uses a cache folder in the external storage.
