I have an app developed in Unity3D that loads a 360 video from the "sdcard/Movies" folder. It is running fine on my Quest 1 but I can't get the permissions set correctly on my Quest 2. If I use "adb shell dumpsys package <package_name>" to check for the permissions it is listed as "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: restricted=true" Then I try to use the ADB command to change it "adb shell pm grant <package_name> android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" But this doesn't change the restricted setting to granted=true as I would expect. I have also included the "<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>" in the Android manifest file. Is there something that I'm missing? Any help is apreciated.
For others having this problem. The problem is related to Android 10 and the way it is accessing the files. I was on unity 2019.1 but after updating to 2019.4 the read file worked. I then had a problem with spatialized audio that did not work in 2019.4, so I downgraded to 2019.2.
I can't post the link to the Unity bug related to this, but you can search this to find the issue
