ENOENT: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

I'm getting this error whilst trying to open files in the directory `ExternalDirectoryPath`.

I have seen that others have fixed it by targeting a lower SDK version (29 max) so that they can opt out of scoped storage.

This isn't working for me consistently and after reading the [android docs](https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/app-specific#external) it seems this shouldn't be causing any issue, we shouldn't even need to request permissions.

For reference `ExternalDirectoryPath` in RNFS returns the same as androids `getExternalFilesDir() ` method which is meant to not require permissions in most cases.

Anyone experienced this?
