displaying a menu screen for selecting a function to be executed from among a plurality of functions of the application, wherein the plurality of functions includes a first function including processing for saving data in a folder and a second function not including processing for saving data in a folder;
causing Operating System (OS) of the information processing apparatus to display a permission screen for selecting a folder in which a user permits the application to save data by the application calling Storage Access Framework (SAF) provided by the OS in a case where a selection of the first function is received from the menu screen in a state where the application is unable to save the data in the folder; and
not causing the OS to display the permission screen in a case where a selection of the second function is received from the menu screen in a state where the application is unable to save the data in the folder,
wherein the state where the application is unable to save the data in the folder occurs when the OS needs to newly obtain a permission to access the folder in association with an upgrade of the OS.
