Permission.storage.request() not working in devices of android 10 in flutter

[Arunachalam-D]

Please check the following before submitting a new issue.

• I have searched the existing issues.
• I have carefully read the documentation and verified I have added the required platform specific configuration.

Please select affected platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Windows

Steps to reproduce

1.Run flutter app on device with android version 10 or below
2Aaccess storage to download files using permission_handler package
3.If initially permission not provided manually open app setting and provide storage permission

Expected results

Should open app setting if permission is not provided and upon giving storage permission files should be downloaded

Actual results

Nothing happens and 'Permission.storage.status' returns 'permission.restricted' even after providing permission from app settings

Code sample

PermissionStatus status = await permission.status;
if (Platform.isAndroid) {
DeviceInfoPlugin deviceInfo = DeviceInfoPlugin();
AndroidDeviceInfo androidInfo = await deviceInfo.androidInfo;
if (!status.isGranted &&
double.parse(androidInfo.version.release) <= 11) {
...
final result = await Permission.storage.request();
}}

Yes, happening for me too.
It automatically says permission denied and permission prompt is not popping up.

@sambrucejoseph is the issue fixed or we need to look for other packages?

I am having the same problem. @sambrucejoseph @Arunachalam-D did you guys manage to solve it, or did you move on to other solutions?

[sambrucejoseph]

Didn't find any solutions. I actually paused building my feature.
