I have integrated Snapchat&#39;s Creative Kit in my Android app. After processing, I receive an image from the server in the form of Byte Array which I am saving to the disk and then sending the file to the Snapchat&#39;s Creative Kit as shown below.

     private fun downloadImage(
        fileName: String,
        imageByteArray: ByteArray?): Uri? {
        val state = Environment.getExternalStorageState()

        if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED == state) {
            val downloadDir = File(
                Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), context?.getString(R.string.app_name)
            )

            if (!downloadDir.isDirectory) {
                downloadDir.mkdirs()
            }

            val file = File(downloadDir, fileName)
            var ostream: FileOutputStream? = null
            try {
                ostream = FileOutputStream(file)
                ostream.write(imageByteArray)
                ostream.flush()
                ostream.close()
                }
            } catch (e: IOException) {
                e.printStackTrace()
            }
        
        val snapCreativeKitApi = SnapCreative.getApi(context!!)
        val snapMediaFactory = SnapCreative.getMediaFactory(context!!)
        lateinit var snapPhotoFile: SnapPhotoFile
        try {
            snapPhotoFile = snapMediaFactory.getSnapPhotoFromFile(file)
        } catch (e: SnapMediaSizeException) {
            return
        }
        val snapPhotoContent = SnapPhotoContent(snapPhotoFile)
        snapCreativeKitApi.send(snapPhotoContent)
        }
    }

I have also added `provider` in the manifest file as shown below:

      &lt;provider
            android:name=&quot;androidx.core.content.FileProvider&quot;
            android:authorities=&quot;${applicationId}.provider&quot;
            android:exported=&quot;false&quot;
            android:grantUriPermissions=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
            &lt;meta-data
                android:name=&quot;android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS&quot;
                android:resource=&quot;@xml/provider_paths_app&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;/provider&gt;

And in the `provider_paths_app.xml`, I have tried all the possible paths by referring [this][1] answer and none of them works.

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
    &lt;paths xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;&gt;
    &lt;external-path
        name=&quot;My App Name&quot;
        path=&quot;.&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/paths&gt;

With the above path, I am getting the below error.

    Couldn&#39;t find meta-data for provider with authority my.package.name.fileprovider

All I have to do is send this image to Snapchat but I am unable to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help will be appreciated.
