Permission Storage required at the app Android Start

Nire2020 · April 20, 2023, 11:08pm

I have issue, when I start game to test through apk on mobile I got ask for Storage permission although there is no ask in settings. Ive seen a lot of people dealing with.
My settings:
UE 5.1.1
Target SDK 33 (tried with 31,32 -same error)
ExternalFile in project settings checked - should avoid asks permission
Tried add to Extra Permissions - READ,WRITE,EXTERNAL etc - same error
Tried to turn off Launch image - Game starts but crashes at the begining of the map
All the games worked fine on Google play with previous versions. We are really tired of UE and should/plan to use Unity at least for 3d Mobile games.

Any solution for this issue. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
