MODE_WORLD_READABLE no longer supported

Question

Hi,I just tried to update our app in Play store made with AIR 30 and it is not able to start it, as it appears to be unlicensed. In the log I found this error:05-14 15:36:59.274 12506-12506/? W/System.err: java.lang.SecurityException: MODE_WORLD_READABLE no longer supported05-14 15:36:59.275 12506-12506/?

It looks like MODE_WORLD_READABLE was used for saving files (and possibly saving photos to camera roll), but this was deprecated and removed from the Android SDK a while back. I'm not seeing any problems myself with AIR 30 and file saving using FileStream.writeBytes, does your app do any kind of file writing or creation using a different method? Or are you using any older ANEs that deal with files, that maybe still used the older SDK where MODE_WORLD_READABLE was still allowed?
