A very big problem with Android 11 and permissions.

[mrdebug]

Hi, My app has to store some data in a local folder. So at start it creates a folder if does not exists.
In order to read and write, my manifest file has got the following parameters:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="23" android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

and everything works well.
The problem is that google play requires targetSdkVersion=29
If I change my manifest file using targetSdkVersion=29 my app can't create the folder!
The app log says:

"android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE already granted"
"android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE already granted"
"/sdcard/.abcd" mkdir() Error!!

How can I resolve the problem? With Android 6 everything works well

Seems to be solved using

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

The row above works for api 29 (Android 10) but not for api 30 (Android 11)
The api 30 solution is wanted.
