Not able to uninstall packages android 5.0.2 #100

Hello, I am trying to debloat a 4G tablet(VK810) running Android 5.0.2 but when I disable or uninstall a package with the gui it is still available on the tablet.

after reading some threads with people getting similar issues I took to shell and ran adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.windowshop and got back Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=20553, uid=2000, package uid=10114 I also tried pm hide com.amazon.windowshop and got Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS.

I have also attached uad log here as well. I feel like I've made a stupid mistake here but I don't know what. Any advice appreciated!

Sorry for the late reply!

v0.3 didn't work for older devices (< Android 8.0) (see #78). I fixed this in v0.4. Try again with the GUI. If that still doesn't work, upload the logs (you can locate the logs in the About page of the GUI)

This is the command used for Android 5.x (notice the --user 0) :

adb shell pm hide --user 0 com.amazon.windowshop
