Reminds me of some bizarro Android permission issues, when I wanted to install a TLS client certificate (pfx) file. I downloaded it via web browser to a phone, opened the certificate management app, and the file was grayed out, no explanation, nada. No way to click on it, no error messages, no confusing permission flags in the file list. I thought the format of the file was wrong, so I tried regenerating it a few times in different formats, wasting an hour or two.

Turns out, you have to copy the file to some folder via adb command line, to make it usable by Android. Copying directly to a uSD card would have probably worked too, but how many people just have a uSD card reader lying around.

But I didn't get a confusing security prompt when downloading from a https:// url, that I might not have understood, so I was better off I guess. /s
