Upload keeps on error, but it was working when my android sdk platform is 28 but error after I updated it to 29.

It's seem likes authorization header is missing in your request.

I also have a same error. Code work in api level 28 and below fine but in api level 29 its shows upload error.
my code is:
context
.authorize()
.then(function() {
return context.present();
})
.then(function(selection) {

      selection.forEach(function(selected) {
          var file =  selected.android;
          var name = file.substr(file.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
          var fileExt=file.substr(file.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
          
          var session = bghttp.session("image-upload");
          var request = {
                  url: "**************product/upload_gallery",
                  method: "POST",
                  headers: {
                      "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream",
                      "file_name":name,
                      "file_ext":fileExt,
                      "post":that.post_id
                  },
                  description: "Uploading " + name,
                  androidNotificationTitle: 'Uploading Product Image',
                  androidDisplayNotificationProgress:true
              };
          
          var task = session.uploadFile(file, request); 
          task.on("responded", (e) => {
            let res=JSON.parse(e.data);
           
          });
          task.on("progress", (e) => {
             that.isUploading=true;
          });
          task.on("complete", (e) => {
            that.isUploading=false;
            that.fetch_gallery(that.post_id);
          });
          
      });
  }).catch(function (e) {
      console.log(e);
});

We already include authorization header but still not working

Same error for me, no trouble using API level 28, but getting exactly the same error with 29. I get an error in upload notification tray too.
It seems that android is stopping the upload for some reason. I gave a look at 29 release note and breaking changes but nothing about permission on upload seems to be changed.
Does anybody found a workaround?

[danieledivito]

I think I found out why of this problem.
This plugin uses an android library that is targeted as follow:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="17" android:targetSdkVersion="28" />
So that's why of the error.
I saw that this library has new version targeting from 21 to 29
but I guess will not be easy to include it cause it's a new major release

i also experienced this issue, when targeting SDK 29 rather than 28
i found that adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" to the AndroidManifest.xml file solved the issue, and images are now able to be uploaded again

<application
		android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
