Description
# Bug Report
in my application. I use the InAppBrowser plugin to display files loaded from an API on the device memory.
But when displaying (Photo) file from device memory, the error is displayed as follows:
> `Webpage not available
The webpage at file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.kbd.bc/test.jpg could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED
`
I checked that the file "test.jpg" in the device memory still exists and can be opened in another photo viewer. Also I have applied for android permision permissions:
`
`
In addition I also go to the android Apps settings to allow the Storage permission to this App but also cannot display the image.
But when I run the application on Simulator and LDPlayer4 Simulator, the image is displayed well and there is no error.
Please help me out with what errors are and what can be done to fix them?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the InAppBrowser 4.0.0 file-loading case on a physical Android 8.0 device using the reported file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/... path and permissions. Compare the behavior with the simulator results and inspect the Android side of the InAppBrowser plugin. Done means the reported image loads without ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, or the limitation and required handling are documented.
