This is described under (emacs)Android Environment.  On Android, system
security policy prevents launching executables from read-write
directories.

Free versions of Android allow you to obtain access as the super user.
In that case, run:

  C-x C-f /su:/data/data/org.gnu.emacs/files RET

and run the binary as the super user instead.

I see. I found another alternative is to modify AndroidManifest.xml:

	-    android:targetSdkVersion="33"/>
        +    android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>

Sure? I'd rather "/su::/data/data/org.gnu.emacs/files"

Best regards, Michael.

The Android developers say they will progressively block applications
targeting older SDK versions from being installed, so that is not a real
long-term option.

Yes, that only solves a small part of the problem.
Super users are more convenient.
