I know this question is old, but now we can achieve the same result without WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Instead of we can use File provider.

private fun storeBitmap(bitmap: Bitmap, file: File){
        requireContext().getUriForFile(file)?.run {
            requireContext().contentResolver.openOutputStream(this)?.run {
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, this)
                close()
            }
        }
    }

How to retrieve file from provider ?

fun Context.getUriForFile(file: File): Uri? {
        return FileProvider.getUriForFile(
            this,
            "$packageName.fileprovider",
            file
        )
    }

Also do not forget register your provider in Android manifest
