Android 10 devices getting EACCES (Permission denied) about pickit HOT 5 CLOSED

Deprecated doesn't mean we can't use it anymore.

In Android 10 file path access was removed and it was returned in Android 11.
Add android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" in your manifest:

<manifest ... >
  <application 
    android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" 
  ... >
    ...
  </application>
</manifest>

Please let me know asap, I will implement it into the library after you have confirmed.
I forgot to add this.

Yes, on Android 11 it will be ignored, but you still have to keep it in your manifest for it to work on Android 10.

Google confirmed this on an issue I opened - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/151407044

Like I said in my previous comment, file path access returned in Android 11. android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" is only for Android 10.
