liam rob Is this still an issue? I still don't have a device that could replicate this. Thanks!

After extensive testing there appears to be incompatibility issues with the Samsung A11 (launch date March 2020) and PickImagesFrom Library flow function (latest update Oct 28th 2019). One can get the path from output1 and set to app variable or page variable very easily on older android and iOS devices, but with the newer android A11 we are getting error messages when trying to get the path. We tried a number of different approaches to obtain the path - including changing the app variable type and usual work around formulas such as outputs["Pick image from library"].imageFile.path but have had no success.

Thanks for the detailed testing! This is slated to be fixed ASAP, sorry you had to be the ones to find it out.

Looking into this! As I understand it, the bug is only present on newer Android devices, right?

Harri Sarsa: Yes, so far we have identified two popular Samsung devices with release dates in 2020 that have this error: A11 and S20. I know you are very busy, but do you have a general idea of how long this will take to fix? Since images are vital components of most applications it is very hard to finish the build without that feature working. Thanks.

liam rob: I'm getting this error on my OnePlus 6 whilst using the 1.9.22 selector app, but this issue seems to be fixed in the new runtime (2.x), at least on my device. So hopefully when the new runtime update comes around this issue will be fixed on all devices. Can't promise that it is since we can't test all devices, but if it still persists, then we will delve deeper into this.

Kristian Gerkman: I received the Samsung update this morning, and still getting EACCES error. Multiple people are having this problem on S20 and A11. OnePlus 6 is not same as Galaxy. Please do look into this.

liam rob: The new runtime update is not out yet. This is a runtime problem, and our runtime developers are currently hard at work with said new runtime update. - I meant that I'm getting the same error with OnePlus 6 as you are with S20 and A11, so hopefully when the update does come out, the problem is resolved, since it's resolved for me when I tested it against the new runtime. :)

Kristian Gerkman: Oh, I see. I thought you meant Samsung Update :) Okay, I will wait for the new appgyver update then. Looking forward to testing it. Thank you.
