Description

I add a quick example here but it would need its own page! (TO DO)

-- Request permission
if not application:checkPermission("android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE") then
    application:requestPermissions({"android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"}) -- note the plural in "requestPermissions"
end
