I have an app that creates a pdf, then opens the client’s mail app and 
attaches the pdf to an email. This works fine with iOS and used to work fine on 
android. However I now have customers reporting problems on android. These 
problems appear to be connected to where the pdf file is saved. I had been 
using  * specialFolderPath("external documents”) * but recently found that 
gMail would no longer accept that location. I switched to * 
specialFolderPath("temporary”) * which worked for gMail but seems to produce an 
i/o error with Microsoft Outlook. I could present the user with a preference 
setting so that the app would know in advance which path to use… but I would 
like to avoid that if possible.  Is there a read/write location that works with 
both / all?

In the case of this app, another solution might be to just send everything 
through my own mail server and simply bypass the user’s mail app. But that puts 
other restrictions on the user that I’m hoping to avoid.

Regards,

Scott Morrow
