Answer 1

Have a try by adding the below tag inside the application tag in the AndroidManifest file:

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

For Example:

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

Also, make sure that you are asking the users for storage permissions.
