Home Assistant companion app crashes when CALL is pressed

[Suxsem]

Hello, I have configured an asterisk server on my network with websocket support and installed the sip-hass-card in my home assistant dashboard.

I have 3 extensions like so:

extensions:
  - person: person.casa
    name: Tablet
    extension: '8002'
    secret: ***
    icon: mdi:tablet
  - person: person.stefano
    name: Stefano
    extension: '8003'
    secret: ***
    icon: mdi:alpha-s-box-outline
  - person: person.roberta
    name: Roberta
    extension: '8004'
    secret: ***
    icon: mdi:alpha-r-box-outline

In web browser, I can successfully make calls between devices.

The problem is related to the Android companion app. If I try to make a call from it, the first time I get the microphone permission screen, I then press ALLOW but then the app crashes. If I try to do it again, the app crashes.

I checked my phone logcat and this is the relevant part:

So it seems that the app is trying to ask for permissions multiple times. Anyone have this issue?

I tested on two different Android devices. Thank you

I found the issue, is a bug of Home Assistant companion app. This prevents audio&video calls to be made. I will fix the issue and open a PR in the Home Assistant companion app repository. Please keep this issue open, I will update it once the PR is made

Fixed! Will be available in the next android home assistant release
