Description

Dropshots fails to read images every now and then with this error:

```
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Download/screenshots/me.saket.telephoto.subsamplingimage.test/various_image_orientations_in_exif_metadata[RotatedBy180,Center,Fill]_zoomed.png: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

I used to workaround this by manually granting `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission in my tests, but do you know why is this even needed?

```
// Shouldn't be needed on > API 29, but dropshots is occasionally unable to write to external storage without this.
val uiAutomation = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().uiAutomation
uiAutomation.grantRuntimePermission(packageName, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
```
