I’ve been using scrcpy to mirror my Android device on my PC, and everything looks great on the screen. However, I’m running into an issue when I try to control the device with my mouse or keyboard. As soon as I hover over the mirrored screen and try to click or type, nothing happens. Instead, I get this error in the command window:

It seems like the issue is related to some sort of permission (INJECT_EVENTS) that’s needed but not granted. I’ve got USB debugging enabled on my phone, and I’m not sure what else I might need to do to get this working. I’m using scrcpy 2.6.1 with a xiaomi note 11 device that has android 13 in it
