Android Question SDK 33 - No Such File or Directory - DirAssets copy

[Arf]

I've been making a SDK 33 compatible version of my app on a Galaxy Tab A7 Lite with Android 13, all seems working fine.
I have just run it on a Xiaomi Pad5 with Android 13 and I am getting an error when copying a PDF from my assets folder to AppFolder, which is:

Dim AppFolder As String = File.DirInternal & "/My AppName"

The error is:

Error occurred on line: 538 (Main)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/com.msolutions.myappname/files/My AppName/002.INSTRUCT.pdf: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It happens in both release and debug, in the top of main I have: #DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

Any ideas why? Thanks

HIDING the FULL Code you used is a good way not to get help

This works for me.

    File.Copy(File.DirAssets,"imageorg.jpg",Starter.rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("My AppName"),"imageorg.jpg")

Oops, I did intend to paste the code in under the Appfolder fline but failed to! It is:

If File.Exists(DDB.AppFolder, "002.INSTRUCT.pdf") Then File.Delete(DDB.AppFolder, "002.INSTRUCT.pdf")
File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "002.INSTRUCT.pdf", DDB.AppFolder, "002.INSTRUCT.pdf")

I know I am deleting the file then replacing it, this is because the new PDF is an updated version of the PDF that is potentially in the folder already.

I used to use DirRootExternal but am migrating it my storage location to DirInternal after reading external storage should not be used in SDK31 onwards.
