On Android, apps have to fetch a seperate permission from the user in order to access an external SD Card. The standard storage permission isn't enough.

Still not solved, right?

Yes, I just tested it.
However I heard that more recent android versions handle this situation themselves (they show a "grant permission" dialog when a path on the SD card is chosen), meaning this bug doesn't deserve that much priority. The Android version of OP is 9, mine is 8.
