Question:
Hi.

I’m trying to export apk to my Android Documents folder and Godot give me an error (see screenshot).

Im on Huawei y72s EMUI 14, I think its kinda SAF error - godot can only create apk in its tmp folder but failed to write it somewhere outside.
(Godot 4.4.1 Templates installed).

Tried to opt in/out “files dialog” option in Editor Setting but no effect.

Sorry if its newbie question, I’m new to Godot, but just trying to export my apk to my cellphone storage, and I don’t want to use root or something like this. Is it a real issue or am I do something wrong?

Thanks!

I don’t think you want it in the documents folder. TBH I’ve only tested APKs on an emulator, but I just drag and drop the APK on the screen. Are you sure you are installing it correctly?
