I'm so sorry that we're in holiday until May 06, I will take a look this issue after holiday.

[littleGnAl]

I try our example and it works fine, can you check the configurations for reference?
https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Flutter-SDK/blob/main/example/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

I think you can also try removing the mediaProjection from the com.pravera.flutter_foreground_task.service.ForegroundService in your project to see if it works or not.

<service
    android:name="com.pravera.flutter_foreground_task.service.ForegroundService"
-   android:foregroundServiceType="mediaPlayback|camera|microphone|mediaProjection"
+   android:foregroundServiceType="mediaPlayback|camera|microphone"
    android:stopWithTask="true"/>

I did the changes and get this error when starting screen share -

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1001, result=-1, data=Intent { (has extras) }} to activity {com.sprintstudio.conversations/io.agora.rtc2.extensions.MediaProjectionMgr$LocalScreenCaptureAssistantActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Media projections require a foreground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION

[bhavinb98]

It seems that I've ran into a weird problem. So I added the mediaProjection service back. I did a flutter clean and ran it again. It always gives me the above error during the first run, where it also crashes after the error. From 2nd run onwards, it runs fine.

I'm using this this plugin to enable foreground service in my app - https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_foreground_task, m not sure if this is the source of the issue. Also created an issue there - Dev-hwang/flutter_foreground_task#212

Another doubt I have -

I try our example and it works fine, can you check the configurations for reference?
https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Flutter-SDK/blob/main/example/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Android 14 needs foreground service permissions to be explicitly specified, but in your example, I don't see any declared, isn't the mediaProjection service is required for screen sharing?

[littleGnAl]

The permissions are declared inside the SDK

Agora-Flutter-SDK/android/build.gradle

Line 62 in 0052cc7

api 'io.agora.rtc:full-screen-sharing:4.3.0'

, so you do not need to config any permissions for the screen sharing feature on Android by default.

I'm not very sure if it is affected by the flutter_foreground_task package, but I think you can first try running our example on your phone and see if it works or not, if yes, you can try removing the configurations or codes related to the flutter_foreground_task package in your project and try again.

[bhavinb98]

I ran the example and it ran fine.

Updated Agora plugin to version 6.3.1

I removed the flutter_foreground_task code from my app as well.

This is the error I get when I start screen share on the first run.

The subsequent runs after the first run work fine.

I also tried adding these permissions to my manifest to fix the first run issue but the problems remains

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE" />

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

Is it possible to provide a mini reproducible demo for this issue which should be useful for us to investigate it?

[costaaaaaa]

Ignore this update. I'm doing some tests. Sorry about it

[costaaaaaa]

@UnluckyY1 Comment how relevant is your link, please.

[UnluckyY1]

@costaaaaaa Sorry, I made a mistake. I was supposed to post my comment on another issue.

[bhavinb98]

Is it possible to provide a mini reproducible demo for this issue which should be useful for us to investigate it?

@littleGnAl Here

Steps to reproduce -

1. Run first time, start screen share. (results in a crash).
2. Run again, works fine.
3. Do a flutter clean and also uninstall the app from emulator/device.

[costaaaaaa]

Guys, I made this changes to build and send to play console: Link to fork

Basically I added tools:node="remove" param in two permissions on AndroidManifest (from example folder) and set the replacement on Service tag.

I removed permissions because it I do not need this behavior at this moment.

Hope this workaround help someone.

[bhavinb98]

@costaaaaaa Not sure if it works. I tried your forked branch on my demo project-

agora_rtc_engine:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/costaaaaaa/Agora-Flutter-SDK.git
      ref: fix_foreground_media_service

The issue persists.

@littleGnAl Did you get the chance to look at my demo project?

[littleGnAl]

@bhavinb98 I'm so sorry that I just got back from vacation, I will investigate the demo in the next few days.

[littleGnAl]

@bhavinb98 I found that it's related to the targetSdk, I changed the targetSdk it works fine

I'm so sorry that I'm a little busy this week, it still needs more time for me to investigate this issue next week. For a workaround you can set the targetSdk to 33 at this time.

[littleGnAl]

Okay, I finally found that it's a bug of our native SDK, it will be fixed on the next version, still, for a workaround you can set the targetSdk to 33 at this time.

[bhavinb98]

Any timeline for the next version release?

[littleGnAl]

@bhavinb98 Probably in early July.

[littleGnAl]

The new version agora_rtc_engine: ^6.3.2 is out, please try upgrading it to see if it works.

[bhavinb98]

It's working. Thanks
