How to access and store files in Android/data folder in android 11

I don't think this is a Thing Which Can Be Done given the security considerations of app scoped storage. One app can't access another app's data directly.

I'm not a developer though so maybe I'm missing something. But my understanding is that Android 11 is specifically designed to prevent this from happening.

I'm sure you can do it if the device is rooted. I don't know of a way of doing this without root, but because of the ways this could be abused by malware I hope you'll forgive me if I also hope that there isn't one.
Bro i am developing an app so i can't root everyone's device. I need a way. Google has just changed a way to access these folders and we should try thing that work out.
