[Flutter] Exif write data to image metadata using native_exif giving exceptioin

This is my permissions file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- The INTERNET permission is required for development. Specifically,
the Flutter tool needs it to communicate with the running application
to allow setting breakpoints, to provide hot reload, etc.
-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_VIDEO" />
</manifest>


I have added this:

<activity
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"



Getting this error:

E/DartMessenger(19487): Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images/IMG-20241024-WA0005.jpg: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)


When I try writing exif data of file. Here is my code:

if (imagePath.isNotEmpty && tags.isNotEmpty) {
List<String> tagList = tags.split(',').map((tag) => tag.trim()).toList();
print("Adding tags to $imagePath: $tagList");
exif = await Exif.fromPath(imagePath);

try {
await exif!.writeAttribute('UserComment', tagList.join(','));
print("Tags written to EXIF metadata for $imagePath");
} catch (e) {
print("Error writing tags to EXIF metadata: $e");
} finally {
await exif!.close();
}
}
}


Maybe I am overlooking something. Its been hours and I am unable to figure out. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
