Description

I clicked "Select an SWF." All files are grayed out. Maybe it needs to ask for permission first.

I'm using a Google Pixel 9 Pro with GrapheneOS on Android 15. The problem may or may not be reproduceable on the stock OS, I'm not sure. I do know that typically apps open the permission dialogue before the file chooser.

Research direction

Reproduce the file-picker behavior on a Google Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS and Android 15, then trace the Android file-selection flow from the "Select an SWF" action. Check whether the required permission dialog appears and confirm that SWF files become selectable once the issue is fixed.
