Android.OS.Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory is deprecated. Alternative?

By -

I'm currently building a .Net Maui App that is only targeting android. I need to save some data in the public external storage that I can access and copy to my PC and that persists even if I uninstall the app. I choose the Documents directory.

The following does the job:

string dir = Android.OS.Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryDocuments).AbsolutePath

But I get a warning from my IDE that GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory is deprecated.

I've found several postings that

Android.App.Application.Context.GetExternalFilesDir(Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryDocuments)

will also work, but that does not return the same result. The deprecated method returns

/storage/emulated/0/Documents

while the other one returns

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.companyname.myappname/files/Documents

Hence the appname is in the path, this is not persistent in case the app is uninstalled. So what is the correct way to get the public external documents directory?

Network Error and Timeout on Authorize.net JS

i am using authorize.net acceptUI.js in order to create a hosted payment form for credit card acceptance. The problem arising now is that, going on the checkout page, I have the following console message: GET https://js.authorize.net/v3/AcceptUI.js net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED Which is weird, cause I cannot ping the domain or anything, as my computer cannot resolve the domain. However, this issue is also reported by individual customers and it seems to be sporadically and not happening the entire time, cause i can see other orders going through. Does anyone know how such an error can be caused, or any ideas how it can be resolved? Thanks for your help EDIT: I just checked the A DNS record for js.authorize.net and am getting the following result only: js.authorize.net. 100 IN CNAME js.authorize.net.cdn.cloudflare.net. Doing the same for js.authorize.net.cdn.cloudflare.net. does not return an A Record, unless I specifically instruct to use 1.1.1.1 as DNS server I...
