SecurityException: Not allowed to start service Intent without permission

[Arnaud VALLAT]

Hello,

I'm getting this error:

java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER pkg=com.google.android.gsf (has extras) } without permission com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE

But I think I have the correct permission setup in my manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />

In fact, I have only this error on 1 device running Android 2.3.7. Unfortunately, I don't have access to this device...

(I'm using the chrome2phone code base for c2dm.)

Any idea of why I'm getting this error?

Regards

Rno

You might want to post your full manifest, so we can confirm you have
the <uses-permission> element in the right place.

Well, that looks fine. This exception is stemming from your code?

[Arnaud VALLAT]

Yep, I'm in the stack trace. Here it comes:

Is there any news on this?
I'm facing the same issue, for me it occours on a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact D5503 (Android 5.0.2). I've only got the error on this specific device, but unfortunately I do not have access to the device. My first thought was, that it might have something to do with proguard, but it't not a rooted device, so it seems unlikely.

try with lower targat api 19 or 20, if its 22

Currently my build.gradle is like this:

compileSdkVersion 22
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 19

I can try compiling against a lower version - but cannot confirm before releasing it to production, as I cannot seem to reproduce it myself and it only happens very rarely.
I've created a SO with some details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30615983/android-java-lang-securityexception-despite-having-declared-uses-permission
