It's extremely frustrating that it's apparently now impossible on android 13 to write to data/obb without rooting devices. People hated this change in 11, hated it in 12, and now it's been done again. Please let us access the device we payed for. No one asked for this change.

@3 It got even worse, as there is a bug that installer apps seem not to be able to do it anymore:

Extremely disappointing that google censored the original issue on this with over 2000 stars.

Old issue was https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/196422354 and can't be accessed by the general public any more for some reason.

I can only support this if there is a way to fake the directory path that the app sees. That is, I need to be able to trick Chinese apps so that they can't tell the difference between me giving them a subfolder and them forcing me to give them access to all my files. Otherwise, this may threaten my physical safety when I travel.
I am the author of the other issue. I faced extreme trauma when my Chinese family compelled and coerced me to install the WeChat app. At that time WeChat closed itself on launch if it was not given the storage permission and my family kept pressuring me. Unlike the free world, China does not respect the freedom against search and seizure. Chinese companies can be forced to hand over any data to the Chinese government. Other Chinese apps mentioned in other issues are DJI and Insta360. What would happen if WeChat scanned a protest photo with my geolocation?
Back then I had Lineage AppOps and Xposed and was able to somehow restrict the storage permission. Today, those don't exist anymore. In the future I may be relying on solely how SAM keeps those apps in check. I have root so I love this feature, and do not hate it. I would rather Android remove the storage feature like earlier iOS than have a foreign government see my photos.
There is an alternative solution that both I and the power users above would accept. That would be to give me an option to trick any foreign app into thinking it was given any specified folder. Everyone else can then grant their backup and file managers access to their whole storage.

Please allow me to use the device I paid for the way I want and have the option to bypass these security controls

This is absurd, I cannot even use my SD Card fully. I cannot locate and move local save games. This is outrageous.
mi...@gmail.com
This is indeed absolutely ridiculous. I'm done updating to future versions of android and will no longer be supporting Google
ka...@gmail.com
Yep. Anytime anyone asks me for phone recommends, I tell them to get an iphone. There is no way that I could say otherwise when google actively tries to make android worse in multiple different ways, and then censors bugs about it.

Even basic operations such as transferring individual files to and from folders in /data/ are blocked. I cannot do it with ADB, MTP or AOSP. As of recently, I am not even able to view certain subfolders below the "com.XXXX/" level via MTP.
I am unable to restore data or bring certain files in from my previous phone. We all paid for our devices and are unable to use them as expected without rooting and voiding our warranties.

This is a problem for a wifi sync app for my music files in musicbee as they need the root of SD card or my device, why can't i just skip it ONCE?
ka...@gmail.com
Did Google or anyone find a solution to this problem
ka...@gmail.com
We need access Google
do...@kodroid.com
If you want google to fix this nonsense you need to tell everyone you know with a google account to star this issue and interact in the comments. It's the only way they will do anything about it.
do...@googlemail.com
We need this fix, well, in reality we need a real solution than the joke of scoped storage band aid we got for "privacy concerns", it does more harm than good...
rt...@gmail.com
Same thing. Can't access my SD card. How to elevate this issues for it to be resolved?
co...@gmail.com
This is absurd, Google we need this fixed immediately, I shouldn't have to root my phone to get access to a capabilities that I already had
ca...@gmail.com
Oh guys, you're so right. We need access to the devices we paid for and we should use them as we want. I have come across this situation recently and couldn't find any solution on the internet. I have a Chinese MIUI and have to install fonts. But the app that I want to use is not working properly because of denied acces to the folder that Android restricted. What is wrong with it. Please, let us use our devices the way we want, Google.
do...@kodroid.com
Don't worry we're gonna get everything figured out

Please escalate this ..
If we as userrs are not even having an option to choose if we want to access data and obb folder, how is android being a user friendly OS ? The best part about android was freedom of users, which looks to be snatched.
Please do not make android, the next IOS.

Gargoyle has done some nasty and even criminal things in the past but perhaps this will wake up the world as to just how unethical, controlling and criminal an organization they have become.
I will not buy a device unless it can be unGargoyled.
This day has been coming for a long, long time as each version of Android© has gotten more and more restrictive with more privacy invasion and less freedom for the purchaser. Notice I didn't say owner?
I bought a LG v50 and v60 and made sure by checking on XDA that they could be rooted before I purchased them.
Good luck with getting Gargoyle to do anything for you and since the US government has been bought and paid for by corporate America many years ago you'll get no help from them.

So annoying these restrictions. I want complete access to my not adopted sdcard. It's mine

I'm using MusicBee Wifi Sync. Since updating to Android 13, I cannot choose a folder on my SD card to sync my music to........musicbee wifi sync "you must select the sd card root folder and not one of it's subfolder"......
But the button is greyed out when I am in the root folder.
I feel like I'm going around in circles. It might be because I am going around in circles.
Please let me select whatever folder on the SD card that I paid for with my own sheckles and groats.....in a phone that I paid for with my own sheckles and groats.
That would be fantastic. Thanks so much.

This sucks, I like Android because it gives you more options and I think as long as you accept the risks then let me do what I want with my device
Description
while we were testing the new AndroidKeyStore with Android >= 4.3 (API 18), we have noticed that after creating a keypair with the KeyPairGenerator and using it, if we change the screen lock ( from PIN to Password for example ), the AndroidKeyStore is recreated empty and the previous generated keypair are deleted.
During the test we have used your SDK Example in android-sdk-mac_x86/samples/android-18/security/keystore/BasicAndroidKeyStore and in our custom application also the same behaviour occurs.
We have tested the apps with these nexus devices:
- Nexus 7 2012
- Nexus 4
- Nexus 7 2013
- Galaxy Nexus
This sounds strange, especially in such case:
"The self-signed X.509 certificate may be replaced at a later time by a certificate signed by a real Certificate Authority."
as indicated by the KeyPairGenerator Class documentation.
We think the correct behaviour should be to not loose the keypair when the user changes the screen lock method.
