> Key: CB-13481
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13481
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-plugin-file
> Affects Versions: Master
> Environment: cordova-android 6.3.0.
> Running on Android 6.0.
> Reporter: Ibrahim M. Ghazal
>
> On Android 6+, trying to read a file from
> {{cordova.file.applicationDirectory}} ({{file:///android_asset/}}) opens the
> runtime permissions window and asks the user "Allow AppName to access photos,
> media, and files on your device?". This is obviously incorrect as the app
> always has the permission to read its own assets.
> Sample code that shows the issue:
> {code}
> function log(a) {console.log(a);};
> resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory,
> function(applicationDirectory) {
> applicationDirectory.getFile('www/index.js', {}, log, log);
> }, log);
> {code}
