This is a common Android 13+ scoped storage permission issue.

Starting from Android 13 (API 33), apps need to request granular media permissions instead of the old READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

Solutions:

1. Use the file picker instead of direct path access:

   • Instead of accessing /storage/emulated/0/Download/... directly, use Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or the Storage Access Framework (SAF)

2. Grant "All Files Access" permission:

   • Go to Settings > Apps > APatch > Permissions
   • Enable "All files access" or "Manage all files"

3. Move the zip file to the app's private directory:

   • Copy the module zip to APatch's internal storage folder before installing

4. Check if you're using the latest APatch version - newer versions may have fixed this scoped storage handling.

The error EACCES (Permission denied) on Android 13+ almost always means the app is trying to use legacy storage APIs that are now restricted. The app needs to use the MediaStore API or SAF for accessing files in shared storage.

Hope this helps!
