Answer 1

Actually, you have created the directory successfully. It didn't show because the directory with path Path.Combine(FileSystem.AppDataDirectory, filename) can't be found by the Android System File Manager.

But you can find it with the Android Studio's Device File Explorer. In addition, you can try to check if the directory is created or not by the following code:

string mainDir = System.IO.Path.Combine(FileSystem.Current.AppDataDirectory,"logs");
var check = Directory.Exists(mainDir);
