I have the same problem. Autostrart works with android versions < 10 only

[ShehanS]

It's solved for me after below changes `

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT" />
    </config-file>`

Not working for me.

I am using the "cordova-plugin-autostart" plugin and the "@ ionic-native / autostart" package.

When I check the permissions it returns "true", so it can be assumed that the plugin is supposed to work.

But on android (10 and 11) nothing happens at startup or restart.

[peitschie]

For me, only these two permissions are necessary (Android 10 + 11)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />

Relevant notes from Android documentation:

• https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
• https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/background-starts

As @ShehanS noted, the user needs to manually enable "Allow display over other apps" in the app permissions to allow this plugin to work as designed.

Thanks @ShehanS and @peitschie for their detailed answers here; they solved my problem.

I've found that the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission is not needed-- I only needed to add RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED into config.xml . This is for Android 11.

Note that the app might only auto-start a minute or more after the boot looks completed and after you unlock the screen.
