Froyo permissions weirdness...? #14

Closed AnderWeb closed 14 years ago

AnderWeb commented 14 years ago

On the AVD with froyo (since first froyo sdk release, including the latest update) i get a lot of warning messages like this one:

Not granting permission android.permission.BIND_APPWIDGET to package xxxxxx

What scares me more is that there's a lot of this ones too:

W/PackageManager(   81): Unknown permission com.google.android.googleapps.permission.GOOGLE_AUTH.mail in package com.android.contacts
W/PackageManager(   81): Unknown permission android.permission.ADD_SYSTEM_SERVICE in package com.android.phone
W/PackageManager(   81): Not granting permission android.permission.SEND_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETED_INTENTS to package com.android.browser (protectionLevel=2 flags=0x1be45)

And a few more, but related to gapps (and as they're missing from avd, i don't know if they're relevant).

I've received a few logcats from users with issues regarding widgets not updating, and maybe this could be the cause?

Reading /data/system/packages.xml shows the launcher permissions, and the BIND_APPWIDGET permission is NOT there....

So may we suppose FROYO is forbidding any other app from using widgets??? WTF??

you can ignore this permission! it is only needed by the app widget picker!
