Not booting after adding app to priv-app

[Vishnu M J]

Hi,

I have been trying to add a apk to priv-app.

Following are the steps i did:

Made a folder named Testapk in packages/apps

Copied apk to folder with name Testapk.apk

In same directory, created an Android.mk file with following contents:

LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional

LOCAL_MODULE := Testapk

LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := PRESIGNED

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := Testapk.apk

LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS := APPS

LOCAL_MODULE_SUFFIX := $(COMMON_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SUFFIX)

LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE := true

TARGET_OUT_DATA_APPS_PRIVILEGED := $(TARGET_OUT_DATA)/priv-app

include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)

Then, added Testapk to core.mk

Build is successful and i can see my apk in priv-app folder in out/target/product/sailfish/system/priv-app. After flashing, the device wont boot up. Its stuck on Android logo. 

(I am using google pixel-sailfish. Branch is android-9.0.0_r33)

(On adding apk to system/apps, i can boot and the apk works fine)

Can someone help me on this???

It's hard to tell without logs (you can get adb access for early crashes like this by pre-installing an ADB public key using PRODUCT_ADB_KEYS), but my guess is you need to add something to https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/data/etc/privapp-permissions-platform.xml?pli=1 or https://android.googlesource.com/device/google/marlin/+/master/permissions/privapp-permissions-marlin.xml

Thanks Colin... After adding permissions to privapp-permissions-platform.xml, everything works fine and as expected.
