FileTransfer open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

Hello,

Since few months I’m trying to resolve an issue with the FileTransfer plugin. My app let the user upload pictures, videos and voice. Pictures work well since I convert them to a base64 code.

But videos and voice are not working.

Here is my Ionic info ouput :

cli packages:

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

global packages:

    cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 (cordova-lib@8.1.1) 

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.4
    Cordova Platforms  : android 8.1.0
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.9

System:

    Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
    Node              : v7.8.0
    npm               : 4.2.0 
    OS                : Linux 5.11

Here is my code to handle video capture and upload :

/* Function to launch phone camera, with duration limited to 30 seconds */

getFromCamera() {
    let options: CaptureVideoOptions = { duration: 30 };

    this.mediaCapture.captureVideo(options).then((data: MediaFile[]) => {
        return this.sendVideo(data, 'camera');
    }, (err) => {
        console.error(err);
    });
}

/* Function to handle upload */

sendVideo(data: any, type: string) {
    if (type === 'camera') {
      data = data[0].fullPath;
    }

    let options: FileUploadOptions = {
        chunkedMode: false,
        mimeType: 'multipart/form-data',
        fileKey: 'file',
        fileName: 'file',
        headers: { 'x-auth-token': 'apitoken...' }
    };

    this.videoFileUpload = this.fileTransfer.create();
    this.videoFileUpload.upload(data, API_URL + '/v.1/api/notes/videos', options).then(res => {
        return console.log(res);
    }, (err) => {
        return console.error(err);
    });
}

code simplified

And this return me :

FileTransferError {code: 1, source: "file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/VID_20211018_132957.mp4", target: "https://myapi.com/v.1/api/notes/146/videos", http_status: 500, body: "{\"success\":false,\"error\":{\"code\":400,\"messages\":[\"This video is too long or corrupted\"]}}", …}
body: "{\"success\":false,\"error\":{\"code\":400,\"messages\":[\"This video is too long or corrupted\"]}}"
code: 1
exception: "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/VID_20211018_132957.mp4: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)"
http_status: 500
source: "file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/VID_20211018_132957.mp4"
target: "https://myapi.com/v.1/api/notes/146/videos"

Same issue with video coming from phone gallery.

This work well on Android <= 9 but not on Android 10+ since the new storage methods. I tried many methods, like setting android:requestLegacyExternalStorage in config.xml, but this throw me an error on ionic cordova build android : AAPT: error: attribute android:requestLegacyExternalStorage not found. Others methods are not working too

So I don’t know how to make this work when targeting SDK 30 (to fit GooglePlay requirements). And if this is possible for Android 10+ :confused: , is there is something to do ? Use a new plugin ? Force permissions ?

Thank you for your help.

Up. I think I’m not the only one is this situation. This is a blocking situation with my clients :confused:

Problem is always active. Now this is not working, and also the app is refused from the PlayStore because some plugins use a “forbidden” permission on Android. About external storage.

Same problem and still not solved… :thinking: :unamused:

I have same problem, the play store say: I need use API MediaStore. I don’t know how this is…
