Hi, did you give the app the required / requested permissions?

Yes, It does request permission to use the location while the app is running. One thing I did notice was in the AndroidManifest.xml
For the location services no max SDK level is listed, so the app prompts to request that permission upon opening, additionally no max SDK level is listed so it is forward compatible as SDK levels are updated with android releases.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
From my understanding this would mean the App no longer requests permissions after the listed SDK level, so for android 13 users (SDK version 33) no prompt or ability is available to assign manually, or request that permission when the application is opened for the following permission sets (and a few more). This would properly explain not being able to access internal storage, save attachments locally or pull a PDF from the phones storage to be used as an attachment.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:minSdkVersion="30" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="29" />
Let me know your thoughts on the next steps

This mentions that the SDK level is not setup for Android 14,
The Manifest file show the permission requests will not be presented to users of android 12 or 13, which to my knowledge are currently supported releases, breaking the ability to attach files from local storage

Were you able to review the last reply?
I’m not sure regarding the manifest, as I’m not a developer. Have you tested this on other FSM version / Android version combinations?
EDIT: Storage permissions aren’t provided explicitly for the App.

Android SDK > targetSdk will need to be 33+ for new apps and app updates by August 2023.
U24 -
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:minSdkVersion="30" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" android:maxSdkVersion="30" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="29" />
I believe some android devices have already moved to this API level 33 on android 13, so the permissions are never requested.
