I used to workaround this by manually granting WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in my tests, but do you know why is this even needed?
// Shouldn't be needed on > API 29, but dropshots is occasionally unable to write to external storage without this.
val uiAutomation = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().uiAutomation
uiAutomation.grantRuntimePermission(packageName, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
