URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/issues/523
# Feature Request
## Motivation Behind Feature
<!-- Why should this feature be implemented? What problem does it solve? -->
The readme does not mention that this plugin will not work if we use Api level greater than 29. Please mention that so the users will get a clear understanding of the app.
## Feature Description
<!--
Describe your feature request in detail
Please provide any code examples or screenshots of what this feature would look like
Are there any drawbacks? Will this break anything for existing users?
-->
Android now accepts new apps with Api level greater than 29 only. So adding clear details to the readme will give a clear understanding.
## Alternatives or Workarounds
<!--
Describe alternatives or workarounds you are currently using
Are there ways to do this with existing functionality?

You can still read files outside the project directory (which I assume you mean the application directory...)
But there are many directories outside of the project directory that are simply no longer accessible, or have limited access with Scoped Storage, which was introduced in API 29 and completely enforced in API 30.
You should be able to read files inside the `cordova.file.external*` paths for example, all of which are outside of your application directory, but you can only read files in which your app has created. And you may need the `READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission granted for reading files that wasn't created by your app.
Creating new directories in the external storage is also no longer permissible with the new scoped storage rules.
I agree though, documentation will likely need to be updated. I'm sure there is also some conflicting information in our previous documentation.
