Security Exception WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY in Samsung phones

I am developing an app using the Motion Samsung library. one of the requirements is to require permissions as follows in the manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name= "com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY"/>

However on some phones (and just some phones) using the release APK from the store, I get:

java.lang.SecurityException: com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY permission is required.

which does not seem to make much sense as I have asked for the permission. I suppose this must not be down to obfuscation during proguard (otherwise it would not work for any phone I guess)? Is it a way to tell me that the specific phone does not support the library somehow?

Any idea? Thanks!

Solution

  • The new SamsungPass library v 1.2.2 fixes the problem. You can download the new library here: http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/pass/releases
