Permission denied to sendBroadcast

[janoelker]

I am using this plugin with several android apps. Just for my Nexus 5x with Android 7 it isn't working. I get the following error:

Permission denied
callbackWithError @ errors.js:31
fail @ sockets.udp.js:75
cordova.callbackFromNative @ cordova.js:295
processMessage @ cordova.js:1081
processMessages @ cordova.js:1104
pollOnce @ cordova.js:973
pollOnceFromOnlineEvent @ cordova.js:960

The error is thrown while I am trying to send a broadcast. This is how my code basically looks like:

function sendBroadcast(data) {
    chrome.sockets.udp.create(function (createInfo) {
        udpSocketId = createInfo.socketId;

        chrome.sockets.udp.setBroadcast(udpSocketId, false, function (result) {
            if (result < 0) {
                console.log("setBroadcast failed");
            }
        });

        chrome.sockets.udp.bind(udpSocketId, '0.0.0.0', udpPORT, function (result) {
            chrome.sockets.udp.send(udpSocketId, data, '255.255.255.255', udpPORT, function (result) {
                if (result < 0) {
                    console.log("sendBroadcast failed");
                } 
            });
        });
    });
}

As I said, for the other android systems this is working perfectly fine. I checked the AndroidManifest.xml and the INTERNET permission param is set. Furthermore, I checked all permission in the android apps settings. All permissions are set on true. Meanwhile, I started a listener, which receives other broadcasts. This confuses me, because it shows that the permission is set. Also, I am sure that no broadcasts are send, because my server doesn't receive any.

While debugging I found this:

F09 ChromeSocketsUdp557920677 {"message":"Permission denied","resultCode":-2}

Maybe this part contains some information for you guys.

I am not sure where the problem is coming from.

You have setBroadcast set to false in your code. Set it to true instead.

setBroadcast(udpSocketId, true, ....

Ok, that was it. Sorry for stealing your time.
