Well, strangely, I can't even reproduce the actual issue on an up-to-date pixel 5 running android 14, which makes it hard to fix it. :/

Hi, I've bee facing the same issue on my device with the latest update to A14. I'm a root user, so there is a solution that worked for me using a Lsposed module.

Download the module, activate it on Lsposed app and reboot the device. The storage permission block will vanish :)

Good news, we're getting somewhere. I'm probably the first person on the planet to use shizuku with xamarin lol.

Only caveat is this breaks android 7 support currently, might need to make 2 vers of the apps.

Very excited to hear this. Can't wait to see the results!!!

OK, here is a beta release: http://apk.rayshift.io/translatefgo/io.rayshift.translatefgo-22007_3.apk

Could you test it and let me know your feedback, if it works or not, if you get any errors please screenshot them and post here.

Worked for me.

I disable the modules that had it working and cleaned the data from the app.

As you can see, I had again the storage permission issue. I used the Shizuku method and it worked fine. It didn't ask me for the folder of the game, It went to the installation menu directly.

And as you can see in the picture of the game, the translations work :)

[Perseo2499]

I forgot to mention it. I was running Shizuku with root, so I stopped it and enabled by wireless debugging. It also worked :)

Fixed with version 2.2.0.
