3.2.0.1 on XA2 Dual SIM: SD-Card in Android

First I am really quite happy with the last update but I miss the support for the SD card in Adroid apps. It worked with "mount-sdcard" from openrepos in the previous OS version but now there does not seem to be a way. I tried symbolic links and bindfs to no avail.

Can anyone maybe suggest a solution?

RTFM! ;\
I.e., file an issue and include (cut&paste) what debugging as described in section 4.3.5 outputs, but substitute each crypto with mmcblk1 in the commands.

Maybe your issue is identical to "Android storage on SD card after 3.2.0.12 update?", I cannot tell by reading both descriptions.

This may also be related to "SD-Card not automatically mounted after reboot" (which is already "Tracked by Jolla").

Nothing significant was altered from SailfishOS 3.1.0 to 3.2.0 WRT the handling of SD cards.
Hence mount-sdcard and crypto-sdcard continue to work fine.

But some flawed change seems to have been introduced with SailfishOS 3.2.0 in AlienDalvik (the Android runtime environment) WRT the location of the /storage/sdcard0 mount point, see "Android's default SD card path broken in SFOS 3.2.0".
Still, with a proper Android file-manager (e.g. OI Filemanager) everything is accessible as usual.

I am glad that it should work. So everything is fine except, that it dosen't work. I might also keep OI Filemanager and just copy my files to the phone. Thank you for your kind advice

Well, there was none, except maybe implicitly "wait for this to be fixed by Jolla". ;\

Note that I cannot and hence did not test the peculiarities of the AOSP 8 based AlienDalvik, as I use an Xperia X, currently.

My answer was not meant to provide a solution for you, it was merely intended to assure you that your issue is not caused by the basic mounting mechanisms (with or without mount-sdcard), but something else (e.g. AlienDalvik's extensive use of bindmounts in v8).
