Move files from applicationStorage to Documents in app

[Stephdidou]

Hi, 

I've got an app that, since 5 years now, that displays an offline map by reading from a folder embed in it ("assets").

Since Android 11, it's impossible to read from ApplicationStorage (Error #3001: File or directory access denied), so I'm trying to copy the folder from applicationStorage to "Documents". 

What I did :

source = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets/maps");
destination = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("Documents/www");
source.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onMapCopyComplete);
source.copyToAsync(destination, false);

function onMapCopyComplete(e: Event): void {
	source.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onMapCopyComplete);

	log("onMapCopyComplete()");
}

I've got a return onMapCopyComplete() but when I'm looking in InternalStorage/Documents of my phone I've got the folders but all are empty... None of the files were copy..

File.applicationDirectory contains the installed files, not saved files. are you sure you don't mean File.applicationStorageDirectory?
