Can target app access and read files pushed by other-files ?

[sitaram168]

Dear Flank Team,

I have a requirement where i need to push a zip file to device (/sdcard/Download) before starting test. I unzip this file in my test app code using adb shell command and try to read in target app. but i always get permission denied error. i have given manage_externa_storage permission, but still it fails.

where can/should i copy files so that my target app can read it ?

after providing manage external storage permission and killing the target app i am able to access it.
