Just wanted to clarify, So in order for people to be able to save on Android 13 and 14, all you have to do is add this file and all problems will be gone?

I just don’t understand, why do yo u need to add those permissions again when they are already in the Project settings as well as can be added in the blueprint?

The reason i am asking is because in order to be able to save in Android 10 - 11 - 12 there was a solution posted here:

Add those 3 Elements: android.permission.READ\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE android.permission.WRITE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE android.permission.READ\_INTERNAL\_STORAGE android.permission.WRITE\_INTERNAL\_STORAGE ===Step 2=== In Project settings\>Android set “Use External File Dir for ue4 Game Files” to True …

So why add this again?

Can you please explain a bit what is the reasoning behind adding this file?
