Are there any plans regarding this? My device should get upgrade to A10 this month and i strongly doubt if i will do this if Termux will not work properly.

Termux is going to be completely re-worked in order to support Android 10. There a lot more issues than this one.

Currently it is partially saved by targeting API 28 instead of 29.

Android 10 uses a scoped storage (which means no free access to /sdcard for command line programs), but only for applications targeting for API 29: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/files/external-scoped.

Termux shouldn't have such issue, but it seems on some devices scoped storage enabled for everything. Is anyone who have this issue using Xiaomi device like OP ?

I am using a AOSP custom rom on my device which is stock android.

I can't reproduce issue on the latest Android 10 image from Google.

Also, behaviour of your OS is different from one described on the official Android SDK documentation, so I'm in doubt that your AOSP is "stock android". For now considered as device-specific issue.

Android 10 issues are not going to be fixed shortly. And if even so, you won't have full access to /sdcard because of scoped storage. File access via SAF can't be passed to command line programs.

Weird, Did uninstall & reinstall and now I can see the storage permission.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry for wasting time!

just wanted to point this issue seem to be very relevant and it keeps coming and going. right now, there's an easy solution:

open termux info, revoke permissions, run termux-setup-storage.
