(Material Files author here)

You need to compile against SDK 29 and maybe use the most recent build tools for aapt to know this attribute, because it's introduced in Android 10.

Solution 2

Make these changes in android\app\build.gradle :

compileSdkVersion 29

targetSdkVersion 29

It will work.

Solution 3

Add this to build.gradle

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 29
                buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"
            }
        }
    }
}

Solution 4

For ionic developers, make sure to update the cordova to the latest version: npm i cordova and then add the android platform: ionic cordova platform add [email protected]

Also make sure to add these into the config.mxl:

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="22" />
<preference name="android-compileSdkVersion" value="29" />
<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="29" />

NOTICE:

SDK v22 means that android versions less than 5.1 will not be able to install the app, knowing that companies usually specify the minimum SDK version as 19 to support al devices.

We cannot requestLegacyExternalStorage on SDKs prior to v22.

In order to overcome this issue, we have to add this permission at run time on devices running android 10+.

Use this plugin to get the current device's SDK version: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/device

If the SDK version is 10 or above, use this plugin to request the permission: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/android-permissions

Solution 5

Just delete line android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true". You can use under Api 29.
