from Cemal: They are saved as files in the shared_prefs folder /data/data/{Package Name}/shared_prefs

app.SaveText("test", "ok");
const path = `/data/data/${app.GetPackageName}/shared_prefs`;

function OnStart() {
  app.Alert(app.ListFolder(path), "Files");
  app.Alert(app.ReadFile(`${path}/${app.GetAppName()}.js.xml`), `${app.GetAppName}.js.xml`);
}

A while ago I intended writing a page about scoped storage but was advised to wait for changes (internal, external).
Now users report problems with Android 13 (granular storage) but I don’t have Tiramisu to advise.
