Hello,

I am encountering a strange issue but after seeing it reproducible in Chrome with it's own FileProvider and with WhatsApp's MediaProvider I think is caused by something in Android's `Intent.createChooser()`

Basically using `ACTION_SEND` and `EXTRA_STREAM` with `FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION` means a `java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial .. requires the provider be exported, or grantUriPermission()` error being logged although the expected flow works without issue.

Because this is happening with AAA apps also I would think this is a deeper issue in Android that doesn't yet have a solution or even a workaround but I'm curious if anybody would know more about this.

If you created a SO question, please past it here for the future reference

Im facing same mainly WA but there are other providers as well

There are a few questions for this already on SO but with no real traction. I've created a new issue on Google's IssueTracker - <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/177734533>
Feel free to star &amp; add more details.

Thanks for the update, i was trying to solve this myself and its a pain
