Hello,

I have been trying to set up a profile page where the user can see and edit his information including an avatar or profile image. The form I used includes an image picker. The problem is when I try this feature on an installed APK on an android device it produces an error of permission which states the following:  
" /storage/emulated/0/Download/test\_image.jpg:openfailed: EACCES(Permission denied)"  
However, when I open the app on the browser previewer on the same smartphone, it lets me upload the image without any issue.  
I just want to add that I made sure I gave permission to my app from its settings page to access the camera and the storage.  
Any help would be appreciated,

Best regards,  
Hamza

@Hamzabou @James_App_Maker has this been resolved or is there an eta on a fix?

Just got a message from a user saying that they gave permission on an Android phone, but weren’t able to access their gallery to upload a profile picture.
