Has to manually install Phonesky.apk to get the self-check option checked; and possible location/SMS permission issues.

[wezfaas]

Magisk 27.0, latest LSPosed & FakeGapps SELinux is permissive Android 13 (API 33)

I'm not sure if manually install Phonesky.apk is intended because it's not mentioned in readme. What are the major impacts if the phonesky self-check options is not enabled in microG?

When checking location permission on microG through App Info, Location permission is allowed, but it falls into "Allowed only while in use", whereas 'Find device' is in the "Allowed all the time" category. I wonder if that's the reason why I cannot enable the location self-checks. I wonder if I can do the adb to grant the all-time permission?

Also SMS permission does not register to Allowed.

Wondering if the background permission is missing here (badging from microG.apk): uses-feature: name='android.hardware.location' uses-implied-feature: name='android.hardware.location' reason='requested android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission, requested android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, and requested android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER permission'

Did you see these entries of "common issues":

• can't grant background location and SMS permission: download & install APK as update
• can grant SMS permission but can't grant background location: go to App Info > Permissions > Location > (press "Location access" in the warning dialog), then go back to self test and try to grant background location again - it should now work

Yes, I have already tried, actually before my post. Sorry I didn't mention that I'm also facing Unable to install microg over itself as a user update - App gets removed after reboot #123 .

Both solutions don't work in my case.

I have used this xda post as a reference for the fix. Unfortunately after I get all permissions on, I still can't get google map to work, I want to use that map as a test. @nift4 , could you give me some pointer for that?

What's wrong with google maps?
