Android 11 adb push Permission denied

Question

I have upgraded OS from Android 10 to Android 11, when I try to run adb push test.txt /mnt/sdcard/, I am getting an error adb: error: stat failed when trying to push to /mnt/sdcard/test.txt: Permission denied.

In AndroidManisfest.xml I have given all below permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<application
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">

Answer 1

According to android doc.

Apps that run on Android 11 but target Android 10 (API level 29) can still request the requestLegacyExternalStorage attribute.

So try to change your target API level. Recommended way would be to use ContentResolver or can say Scoped storage instead of Legacy deprecated storage APIs.
