[Bug]: Permission: android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE cannot be granted! while running Macrobenchmark #796

Open JyotimoyKashyap opened 1 year ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Is there a StackOverflow question about this issue?

What happened?

Brief

While trying to build and test the benchmark module. I wanted to run the sample benchmark WarmStartupBenchmark. I just cloned the repo and did basic setup of the repository and installed the app that ran successfully after which I decided to run the benchmark.

Issue

The build runs successfully but the test cases fails with an error message shown bellow. 

Permission: android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE cannot be granted!

This says that it cannot grant permissions for storage, which certainly should not be the case. I have seen this issue with every benchmarking repository that I tried from google. Recently, I tried the codelab for benchmarking in android which has the same issue.

I have also researched about it and found an open issue in (IssueTracker)[https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/235344525].

Device Details

Android Studio Version : Flamingo Android Version : 11 (Physical Device) Device Name : Redmi Note 8 Pro.

BreakZero commented 11 months ago

Some devices keep monitoring permission, and benchmark need modify and delete the contents of your shared storage, so it need to grant the permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. You can turn on Disable permission monitoring under Developer Options will fix.

ambushwork commented 10 months ago

@BreakZero unfortunately some phones don't have this option to disable this. is there any other workaround about this?
