TaifunTM and READ_PHONE_STATUS permission error

[Douglas Barbosa]

I use TAIFUNTM extension in two apps. It used to work fine.

In order to update to the new Google Play format, I recently built the apps without any changes.

Since then, the apps started to show the following message: 

"

Runtime Error

getDeviceID Neither user 10316 not current process has 

android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE or 

android.permission.READ_SMS

"

When I open the app informations screen and set permitions manually, it works.

I uninstalled the apps and reinstalled the old versions in the same android and the same cell phone. The old versions worked fine.

I have already added the PhoneCall component to the SCREEN1 and the situation is the same.

I used apktool to decoded my app and I examined the manifest. All the permissions are there (see below).

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.apps.googlevoice.permission.SEND_SMS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>

I am completely puzzled. I thank in advance anyone who may help me.

Hello Douglas

I'm assigning your Post to MIT. There might be a work-around but I do not know of one.
