Android targeting API Level 30 needs permission #1150

GloriaTM · 2021-08-03T12:09:11Z

Hi!

My App with targetSdkVersion=30 crashed on Android 11 calling shareViaEmail with java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

I think the reason is that you now need permission to have full access to the list of all installed apps:
https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/package-visibility-in-android-11-cc857f221cd9

Solution:
Add the following to AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />

or -

Adding following permission to config.xml to generate AndroidManifest.xml with this permission.

<config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />
</config-file>

I hope this helps someone,
GTM

Yes, this solve the issue on Android 11

AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />

HarelM · 2021-10-04T20:20:54Z

I'm facing the same issue.
Thanks for posting the solution here!
The bug is basically that the list is empty and trying to remove an item from an empty list causes the app to crash.
I don't mind sending a PR to either check for an empty list and raise a toast or add the relevant permission to the manifest.
This plugin serves me really well and I'd like to contribute back a bit :-)

HarelM · 2021-10-27T15:47:05Z

Not sure I can help, I added the permission and it solved my issue, you'll probably need to debug and see where it fails... That's what I did...

@chrisjdev when this fix will be released for cordova? https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing

@mad-na Sorry, in my comment referencing this issue, I was saying my change didn't completely solve the issue, so I wasn't planning to do a pull request. Also, for other reasons, I'm planning to switch to using share() instead of shareViaEmail(), so I likely won't spend any more time on this.

HarelM · 2022-04-29T08:11:46Z

Also worth mentioning that the solution to add a permission requires adding an explanation in the google play store as can be read here:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9888170
This is the solution I went with as it didn't need any change in the plugin code to fix this.
I'm no longer sure, due to the above google restriction, that this is the right solution.
Having said that, I'm not sure what is the right solution in this case...

GloriaTM · 2022-05-01T17:31:36Z

@HarelM Yes, setting global permission is therefore no longer a good option.

I have struggled through this (and ended up with @bhandaribhuminpfizer solution):

Remove <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />
add to config.xml:

 <config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
            <queries>
                <intent>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
                    <data android:scheme="mailto" />
                </intent>
            </queries>
        </config-file>

Remove android platform and add it again to generate AndroidManifest.xml correctly:

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android

Tested with corova-android 9.1.0 on Android 10 and Android 11

Feedback is welcome

HarelM · 2022-05-02T19:53:45Z

@GloriaTM thanks for the info!!
I've tested this and it seems to work as expected in android 12 and 11.
Thanks!!

plakerco · 2022-08-16T15:55:11Z

In my case this works:

Procedure like @GloriaTM posted, but in config.xml:

<platform name="android">
  ...
    <config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <queries>
            <intent>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
                <data android:scheme="mailto" />
            </intent>
        </queries>
    </config-file>
</platform>

Tested with cordova-android@11.0.0 on real Android 8.1 (API 27), Android 11 (API 30) and Android 12 (API 31) devices

SailingSteve · 2022-08-23T19:58:18Z

For me, I just removed the namespace tags, and it worked:

           <config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
                <queries>
                    <intent>
                        <action name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
                       <data scheme="mailto" />
                   </intent>
               </queries>
        </config-file>

leorsida · 2022-09-17T14:46:41Z

To sharing on Fb and email with Android 12, i need to add fb package

<config-file parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml"> <queries> <intent> <action name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" /> <data scheme="mailto" /> </intent> <package android:name="com.facebook.katana" /> </queries> </config-file>

Ionic/Angular/Capacitor app:

\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml

I have removed <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />

and added this:

<queries>
           <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" />
            <data android:scheme="mailto" />
        </intent>
    </queries>

Still, it is not working in android 12 and above devices. app is getting crashed

HarelM · 2023-07-06T07:16:31Z

I have a working app targeted to Android 13.
I don't know if I'm doing something different, but it's working for me.
If it helps, the following is my repo:
https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site/tree/3997912dc56df39cd84a6100c06241364eab7d05/IsraelHiking.Web

durgamalleswariyeruva · 2023-07-06T10:06:14Z

Thanks for the quick response. Currently, I am using angular 12.1.4 and cordova -11. It was working fine in ios. In android, greater than 11 android versions getting crashed.
this.socialSharing.shareViaEmail(body, subject, []).then(()=>{
});
app was closing automatically after calling then()

Did you follow the above suggestion?
#1150 (comment)
Here's my commit that solved this:
IsraelHikingMap/Site@bb95028
I believed this crashed for me too before this fix.

durgamalleswariyeruva · 2023-07-06T13:15:27Z

I tried to update social-sharing plugin -6.3.0 and also followed the above procedure which you suggested.Still, no luck in result.

I hope this helps someone, GTM

If you add this persmission in Manifest file, app may got rejected due to the play console policy.
