@dpogue / @timbru / @norman137 I think, it will be (maybe) better to write some documentations in cordova-android readme.md for any changes after activating api v30 in config.xml for the ppl, who doesn’t know android and use only cordova plugins with JS api… What you thinks?

Releases are always accompanied with blog posts that highlights changes/breaking changes and the sort. https://cordova.apache.org/blog/

Although, a blog post could be made to kinda warn that users should be migrating storage if they use externalRootDirectory or something. There will be locations that are accessible in API 28, accessible in API 29 with the requestLegacyExternalStorage flag, but completely inaccessible in API 30.

Please what is the correct way to store media files to shared storage (i.e. accessible via MediaStore instead of locked away from other apps) starting from Android 11? App-specific storage is all the rage with Android 11 but I can‘t find a way to access the VOLUME_EXTERNAL_PRIMARY using the File plugin. <https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/media#add-item|This example> shows how to use VOLUME_EXTERNAL_PRIMARY to save files to shared storage, but on <https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/10.x/reference/cordova-plugin-file/index.html#where-to-store-files|this page> it seems there’s no exposure to that storage volume via the File plugin. The alternative is to use the app-specific storage space on the external drive, but <https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/app-specific|the Android docs> state that this would not be ideal for media because the files will not be available to other apps and would be wiped if the app is uninstalled, both of which a user is unlikely to desire for pics and vids.

Question for the people who released PWAs as opposed to using the app stores? Apple keeps rejecting my app so I really don't have a choice but to go the PWA route. For those who have had similar experiences, what are the pitfalls of using PWAs? Pros Cons
