Unsupported path storage/emulated/0/test

Issue

Hi I am working on a mobile application (react native 0.60.4) where I am downloading file using rn-fetch-blob to a custom path storage/emulated/0/test earlier it was working fine then I had to update the targetSDKVersion to 29 and compileSDKVersion to 29 after that it stopped working in android 10 Even after adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" its not working..

can someone help me what could be the work around for this to work. or any other library to use with DownloadManager with notification

TIA

Solution

DownloadManager on an Android 10 device wil not download to the root of external storage or to your own directory on root of external storage.

You have to choose one of the public directories on external storage like Documents, Download, DCIM and so on.

For the DownloadManager you do not need to request legacy external storage.
