   > someone found the way to invoke the creation of a folder? I used to do it like this:
   > 
   > window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.externalRootDirectory, function fileEntryCallback(fileEntry) { FOLDER_APP = "MyFolder"; fileEntry.getDirectory(APP_FOLDER, { create: true }, success ,fsFail); }, fsFail );
   
   As of Android's Scoped storage introduced in API 29, and enforced in API 30 (`requestLegacyExternalStorage` is ignored), the external root directory is no longer a writable path. You cannot create files or folders in the external root directory anymore. You must use one of the existing directories such as the `Documents`, `Pictures`, `Downloads` directories (to name a few) or your app's external files directory.
