Debug APK permissions not working

Hi all, I'm trying to test my app that works absolutely fine with remote preview but the debug APK is broken.

I need permissions for the camera and files which I've selected on the build dialog. Testing the app on multiple devices, nothing happens when browser invoke download is triggered. Camera option doesn't appear on file chooser condition, just file selector (I can sort of live with this)

I've selected min version 7 on building, checked permissions for the debug APK app on device, tested on multiple devices, I'm lost now!

I've searched for the same issue and found:

github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/2884

github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/1261

Both are pretty old (2018) with no solution.

Have I wasted a year of my life?

This seems like a pretty big flaw.

Is there any work around?

Thanks for any suggestions.

nothing happens when browser invoke download is triggered

See the warning by 'Invoke download' in the manual. It only works in actual browsers.

Downloading is a browser feature and depends on the browser UI. Note that mobile apps don't run in browsers (there is no address bar etc), so the download feature isn't available there. Consider using the Share plugin to share the file instead.

Thanks Ashley, I'll rework it for sharing instead.
