Cannot create account on Android 7

Schroedingers-Cat commented 7 years ago

Since I updated to Android 7 (Linage OS), Birthhday Adapter doesn't sync anymore. I cannot add an account from the app, the calendar vor system settings -> accounts. No error message, it just doesn't happen.

If you open BA, can you enable it from there?

Schroedingers-Cat commented 7 years ago

Yes, I can open BA and and swipe the slider "Calendar" to activate it. However, after some seconds, the slider is back disabled.

dschuermann commented 7 years ago

did you give BA all the required permissions? Android settings -> Apps -> Birthday Cal -> Permissions

Schroedingers-Cat commented 7 years ago

Yes, both sliders are enabled.

Is there anything else I can provide?

Same Problem here under Lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1.1).

sciamano commented 6 years ago

I also see this problems under Lineage OS 14: can't create account, no sync. If I open BA, I can "enable" it, press "sync now", close -> the birthdays appear in calendar. Open BA again, and it show it is deactivated! And some time later the birthdays disappear from calendar as well :(

Any way to debug it?
