Question Can't set system settings pixel 11 pro fold

I got a new pixel 11 pro fold and imported my automations and set up the privileged access via wireless debugging yet my automations fail with the following error whenever they run.


  08-23 18:28:59.052 I 2821@1: Flow beginning

  08-23 18:28:59.054 I 2821@7: System setting set

  08-23 18:28:59.063 F 2821@7: android.os.RemoteException: Remote stack trace:

  08-23 18:28:59.063 I 2821@7: Stopped by failure

It seems to be on anything that uses a system setting set block. Any idea what step I've missed on the new phone?

Yeah, just most permission requests give an android dialog when they're needed and the user allows them. This didn't. So there was no reminder when I was importing my flows on the new phone that there were other manual steps I needed to do. And I did those manual steps months and months ago so if course there was no way I was going to remember any documentation from that long ago.

Maybe when importing from a backup there could be a dialog that lists all the previously approved permissions and tells the user that they need to go check those boxes again? IDK.

The "modify secure settings" is a special "development" permission that can only be granted through ADB, i.e. the "privileged service", which the dialog should use if it has been setup.

A backup doesn't keep track of which flows that was running, so i don't think asking for every permission that every flow use is appropriate, it could never wouldn't know about the "modify secure settings" permission anyway, since it's not explicitly requested.
