   Yes, now it works in Android 10 / API 29.
   
   However, will there be a solution to reading files in API 30? If application is designed to work with files it will be useless if there will be no way to access FS.
   
   P.S. Just read [notes about storage in Android 11](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage), `requestLegacyExternalStorage` will work in Android 11 if target API is still 29.
