@mar-v-in Please add the code to ask the user to disable permission auto-reset. This will avoid a lot of unknown problems in the future.

This will be backported to Android <11 via play services update, so I don't think this is of concern to microG proper, but it still would be interesting for apps that include the ENF function. (But I suspect they'll need to deal with that themselves and microG-ENF-UI might not be the best place to put this... not sure).

As for Android 11+, I think we can add that to the self-check list. But I'm unsure if we can find out if the app is actually exempted. (I.e. will we be able to show a green checkmark when the user completed this task?)

Here's the technical details in jetpack-core: https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/content/IntentCompat#createManageUnusedAppRestrictionsIntent(android.content.Context,%20java.lang.String)

I have personally verified that Google is able to remove permissions of apps on Android 7 with microG Services + Google Play Store.

So even without Play Services it is a real problem.
