I know this will be a controversial topic, but there has been a enormous modding scene on Quest 1, 2 and 3 with people installing Nexus/Other mods into their games without needing a phone or computer. And the introduction of Scoped Storage in V51 slowed modding for a month with the blocking on /Android/data, but a work around was eventually found with Scoped Storage that allowed access to all the juicy game/files/Mods folders. But the V63 update has stealth updated Scoped Storage without notice and imposed additional restrictions that are more strict then Android 13. This update will stop the average of 20k users a day from installing mods on a device they own without needing a computer or phone.
Just to state, if I point Scoped Storage to /Android/data, in the past, it would allow the user to grant access to the folder. But after V63 it and all children are blocked due to privacy concerns.
Now still, a user can plug into their computer and access the the /Android/data content, which kind of makes locking it up from itself a weird flex of requiring a PC to mod their games.

Hey @Sleekslit! After consulting the team on what the best next steps are, I was informed that the public release of v63 is still rolling out to all users and that you should be getting another software update with the fix in the near future. If you receive an update, but the fix appears to be missing, please don't hesitate to reach back out here. Thank you for your patience!
If you're still on the v63 PTC, then a Factory Reset can be done, which may revert you back to v62 for the time being until you receive the public version of v63. Of course, if you don't want to Factory Reset your headset, you can wait while on the v63 PTC for the public release of v63.
The PTC users were supposed to receive an updated version of the PTC, but appears not all have received the fix. I've already let our team know of the cases where y'all have updated the PTC and still haven't received the fix.
I will continue to ask for updates from our team and provide them here as soon as I receive news. Thank you all for your patience!

Read This: Hey everyone! I got an update from the team that I think y'all will like to hear! I've been informed that the scoped storage issue has been resolved in PTC v63 and in the live v63 which is starting to roll out. Please keep an eye out for any firmware updates. Thank you all for your patience during this time!
I know. I updated my software to the latest version, nothing happened I'm asking for updates about the situation since we are a lot with the same problem, updated but no changes.
