[DISCONTINUED] Extension to download a file to ASD (app-specific directory) without WRITE permission

[Ben_B]

It is a WordPress download link, nothing fancy, like: https://www.domain.com/?product=MTMsNDg1OT/doc.pdf or https://www.domain.com/?product=MjA0MzUsNDc/audio.mp3

[Anke]

Try to download a file using the Web component using the same link. I think you will have the same problem. If so, it is WordPress related.

[Anke]

So try Google Drive or your own server.

Thanks @Taifun & @Anke!
I found my mistake: the WP site has protected access by password, and the cookie is not saved after the first access. As a result, the 4.2k file is an HTML file of the protected page info!

Sorry for the noise here, and thanks again, @Anke, for this absolutely useful extension!

By the way, if you have any idea how to save the protected access cookie, I'd appreciate it.

I have created the APK successfully.
When try to run this APK file is crashed.
Everything worked successfully with version nb197d.

Can I resolved this problem.

Does the previous version of the app work OK ?

What did you change in the app in your latest version that builds, (installs ?) but crashes when you run it?

Is this all being tested on the same device?

Any extensions ?

• Yes it's working fine

What did you change in the app in your latest version that builds, (installs ?) but crashes when you run it?

• I haven't changed anything. I wanted to compile it with the new google requirements.

Is this all being tested on the same device?

• I nave make test in tri deferent devices.

Any extensions ?

To find out what's going on use logcat

Capturing Device Logs using adb logcat

ADB is a command-line utility that that can be used to control your device over USB from a computer. It will allow you to install / uninstall and or view logs on your device. This could be very handy when there are issues with a specific app and you like to view the logs for information that may lead to identify the cause of error. In this post, we’ll discuss how to install and use ADB. Installation: ADB comes with Android SDK. However, you can download ONLY the ADB files from HERE . Download…

So what's the problem?

Did you already update the extension to follow the sdk34 behavioral changes?

One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts

No, I don't think it's necessary.

[Taifun]

Let me respectfully disagree
From the stackoverflow link

As discussed at Google I/O 2023, registering receivers with intention using the RECEIVER_EXPORTED / RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag was introduced as part of Android 13 and is now a requirement for apps running on Android 14 or higher (U+).

If you do not implement this, the system will throw a security exception.

Well, I think I won't continue to adapt my extensions to these idiotic targetSdkVersion restrictions. I've done that long and often enough. Now it's someone else's turn. There are a number of good alternatives to my extension.

Fortunately, I have nothing to do with this ridiculous annual SDK circus on iOS.
