Answer 1

Be aware that the solution:

Is temporary, sooner or later your app should be migrated to use Scoped Storage.

In Android 10, you can use the suggested solution to bypass the system restrictions, but in Android 11 (R) it is mandatory to use scoped storage, and your app might break if you kept using the old logic!
