 You can use **presplash.filename** and **icon.filename** to include two artwork in your app. The //presplash// will be displayed at startup, during the initialization of the environment (unfortunately it is rather time consuming). The //icon// is instead what you can imagine. Use PNG graphics at least 512 x 512 pixels, you can use transparency too.
-In **android.permissions** you must list all the permissions that your app will require from the operating system. If you forget to declare something your app simply will not be able to do that operation. Beware that starting from Android 10 the access to the external storae (basically the space into the SD card or into the device memory) has undergone a drastic change, see the table below for a basic overview.

 ^ READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE   | This was the long-established permission required by the apps to read the [[https://android.googlesource.com/platform/docs/source.android.com/+/android-4.2.1_r1.1/src/tech/storage/index.md|external storage]] (a permissionless filesystem residing into the SD card or into a dedicated partition of the device internal storage). If you want e.g. to read the pictures from the DCIM folder of an **Android 8** device, you must grant this permission. This is not longer true starting from **Android 10** (API level 29) which introduced the **scoped storage**, designed to protect app and user data and reduce file clutter; requesting ''READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'' in Android 10 actually means requesting access only to **photos and media**. Afterwards **Android 11** (API level 30) fixed several problems with that implementation; in Android 11 and above requesting ''READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'' does not give you any actual permission. Generally, in Android 11, an app cannot access the root directory of the SD card and the Download directory, it can access only its ASD (App Specific Directory).  |
