Access Denied when open file in system storage

[khoailangdo]

Bug Report

in my application. I use the InAppBrowser plugin to display files loaded from an API on the device memory.
But when displaying (Photo) file from device memory, the error is displayed as follows:

`Webpage not available

The webpage at file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.kbd.bc/test.jpg could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
`

I checked that the file "test.jpg" in the device memory still exists and can be opened in another photo viewer. Also I have applied for android permision permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

In addition I also go to the android Apps settings to allow the Storage permission to this App but also cannot display the image.
But when I run the application on Simulator and LDPlayer4 Simulator, the image is displayed well and there is no error.

Please help me out with what errors are and what can be done to fix them?

I found this SO question to be more relevant, if the underlying cause is more related to targeting Android API level 30: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63830399/android-webview-load-from-internal-storage-android-11-android-r

I'm having the same issue while opening local image(file://../../test.jpg).

net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED

It stops working when I upgraded cordova-android to 10.1.1.
As far as I can see latest cordova-android plugin uses Android API level 30.
Is there any workaround for this?

Getting the same error as well.
Any workaround would be helpful.

I see that cordova-plugin-whitelist was moved into the core Cordova Android package and the plugin is compatible with cordova-android 4.0< to <10.X, could any changes here cause this?

The solution it was implement on this pull: #883, but not merged yet. 😢
