Permission denied on writing to external storage despite permission

UPDATE: See Volker Voecking’s answer for a better solution


EDIT: This is simply a workaround for those who don’t have time to look for a solution. *

If you get permission denied error even when the permissions are granted and you already implemented permission checks,

make sure you’re not targetting api level 29:

Change targetSdkVersion and compilesdkversion from 29 to 28 or any other lower level.
