PTC v63 Scoped Storage Update

[SlashAndBurn]

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.

It’s been some time since I used my headset but when I finally had the urge to play I got on bonelab to play with mods but when I got on mobile vr station and tried scoped storage to add mods into bonelab it says faliure I don’t know what to do

It's either they're taking their sweet ass time, or they've lied to us, let's hope it's not the latter

Odd thing, but my headset reverted to a previous version, from 40x to 3xx.  I did nothing, just left it charging.
