The “photo library - select picture” feature is not working on my APK, after downloading and installing in my android terminal.
After selecting the picture the image goes blank.
It works perfectly in the android emulator but not in the downloaded APK.

Try to display the values of all the blocks that work with data after selecting a photo. You need to clearly identify the block that doesn’t work.

Ok I displayed the error on to a label after selecting the picture and it says: /storage/emulated/0/photos…/… opend failed: “EACESS (Permission denied)”
I checked the app’s permissions in my phone setting and both camera and storage are allowed.

Now you know how to search for errors.
I do not know how to fix this error. This is a question for developers Thunkable X.
