@ -17,20 +17,25 @@ This is the version for Android, with support versions ranging from 5
to 13 (like [mentioned
here](https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/blob/develop/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/Config.kt)).
**Important Note**: Starting from Android 11, the zim file picker feature
has been restricted in the Play Store variant due to Play Store policies.
This means that users running Android 11 and above will not be able to load
zim files from internal/external storage directly within the app.
This restriction is in place to comply with the Play Store policies.
The Play Store variant of the Kiwix app does not have the
`MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission, which is required for scanning storage
and accessing zim files from arbitrary locations.
Therefore, the storage scanning functionality is not available in this variant.
To use the full version of the Kiwix app and access the zim file picker feature,
you can download it directly from the [official page](https://download.kiwix.org/release/kiwix-android/). The website allows you to download the full version of the app, which includes the unrestricted file picker feature.
We understand that this restriction may cause inconvenience,
but it is necessary to comply with the Play Store policies and ensure a smooth user experience.
We recommend using the official version of the app available on our website to access the complete set of features.
**Important Note**: Starting from Android 11, the ZIM file picker
feature has been restricted in the Play Store variant due to Play
Store policies. This means that users running Android 11 and above
will not be able to load ZIM files from internal/external storage
directly within the app if they have downloaded Kiwix from the Google
Play Store. This restriction is in place to comply with the Play
Store policies. The Play Store variant of Kiwix does not require the
`MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission anymore, which is necessary to
scan storage and access ZIM files at arbitrary locations. Therefore,
the storage scanning & file picking functionalities are not available
in this variant anymore. To use the full version of Kiwix and benefit
of the ZIM file picker feature, you can download it directly from the
[official
repository](https://download.kiwix.org/release/kiwix-android/) or use
[F-Droid](https://fdroid.kiwix.org). We understand that this
restriction may cause inconvenience, but it is necessary to comply
with the Play Store policies and ensure a smooth user experience. We
