Hello Thunkers,

As you may know Play Store announced a new policy effective May 5th.

My concern is on:  
**Use of All files access (MANAGE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE) permission**  
[https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10467955](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10467955)  
=\> Will there be an explanation field to modify the Plist file on Android?

**API 30**  
When will be the thunkable upgrade of the APK compilation targeting API 30?

Thanks!  
Lukas
