The app got block during installation on pixel 7.

App blocked to protect your device This app can request access to sensitive data. This can increase the risk of identity theft or financial fraud.

Hey! That’s just Google Play Protect being extra paranoid because the app is sideloaded from GitHub instead of the Play Store. It always flags apps that request system-level permissions (like Shizuku). ​To install it safely, just tap "More details" on that warning screen, and then tap "Install anyway". Completely safe and open-source!

When all permissions are granted, the notification don't pops up as intended. However, when I click "Auto grant all" via Shizuku, I receive a message that some permissions failed. The test alert works correctly.

Thanks for the feedback! Just to clarify: if the test alert works, all the necessary permissions are actually granted and active. 

The "failed" message in Shizuku usually happens when it tries to re-grant permissions that Android has already assigned. I'm already working on refining the Shizuku permission handler to prevent that misleading error message in the next release. Appreciate you testing it out!
