Since v8 things were changed and `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` was removed because by default it's not needed, even for pre API 29 devices. You're right though in that shared storage (aka external storage) requires it for API 28 and lower devices. If you're using the `saveToPhotoAlbum` option, or you're simply trying to move/copy the file into external storage partition then the permission is required. You can add the following in your `config.xml`, best to be added inside a `<platform name="android">` tag: ```xml <config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="28" /> </config-file> ``` You may want to check to see if another plugin is already inserting the permission, doing so will cause conflicts.
