Flutter – Storage Permission in Android 13 is not working

In my flutter project, I need the device storage permission for downloading pdf. But in Android 13, in app permission settings, storage permission is not appearing.

I have used these permissions in
..android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml which is given below.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 <uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="33" />
 <uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="33" />

And here is the code to take the user permission

Future<bool> requestStoragePermission(Permission permission) async {
    AndroidDeviceInfo deviceInfo = await DeviceInfoPlugin().androidInfo;
    if (deviceInfo.version.sdkInt >= 30) {
      var status = 
          await Permission.manageExternalStorage.request().isGranted;
      if (!status) {
        await openAppSettings();
      }
      return status;
    } else {
      if (await permission.isGranted) {
        return true;
      } else {
        var status = await permission.request();
        return status.isGranted;
      }
    }
  }

It’s not working showing Permission is denied message and debug result No permissions found in manifest for: []22

    I believe when you are targeting Android 13 or above, you need to obtain access to Media Files Permission instead of READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

    When you app runs in Android 13 devices, the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission mentioned in the Android Manifest will be ignored as mentioned in this article. Instead there are three new permissions were introduced starting Android 13.

    1. READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
    2. READ_MEDIA_VIDEO
    3. READ_MEDIA_AUDIO.

    If you were using READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE for accessing files, then you need to use one of these new permissions for Android 13 and above.

    I would suggest you to get the more insights from the following article.

    Similarly for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. You may check with the following article from Android which clearly explains about permission related to storage

    Hope this gives you broader picture about the Android Permission Model.
