What do I do about: this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL

I am working on integrating micode's open source compass into an app I am making. I am wondering how I can fix this here permission error when I clearly have it stated in my manifest with the correct spelling. Its still coming up that I need that permission.

This is puzzling me...

Solution

  • android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is a signature level permission. Your app will not be able to use it until and unless it has the same signature as the system.
