unable to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

[nir hasan]

i have a flow with gps - location interactive , when trying to turn on/off the gps the flow crash .

i have seen the setting is not enable , enable it automatically failed ,

doing it manually via adb connected to the pc also fails .

Android 14 Poco C75

adb shell pm grant com.llamalab.automate android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Exception occurred while executing 'grant':

Some manufacturers, like Xiaomi, includes additional non-standard security feature that block granting permissions from ADB, check system settings, see:
