android.permission.CALL_PHONE

Question

Could you add android.permission.CALL_PHONE permission so we can remotely control via runCommand the call forwarding of the devices?

For example schedule a daily action:

{action: "android.intent.action.CALL", data: "tel:%23%23002%23"}

04-24 16:45:02.029 2482 8968 D HeadwindMDM: Calling intent: android.intent.action.CALL 04-24 16:45:02.036 2482 8968 W HeadwindMDM: Calling intent failed: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.CALL dat=tel: flg=0x10008000 cmp=com.android.server.telecom/.components.UserCallActivity } from ProcessRecord{c798f3a 2482:com.hmdm.launcher/u0a118} (pid=2482, uid=10118) requires android.permission.CALL_PHONE

C:\platform-tools\adb.exe shell pm grant com.hmdm.launcher android.permission.CALL_PHONE Security exception: Package com.hmdm.launcher has not requested permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE java.lang.SecurityException: Package com.hmdm.launcher has not requested permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE at com.android.server.pm.permission.BasePermission.enforceDeclaredUsedAndRuntimeOrDevelopment(BasePermission.java:398) at

Thank you in advance!

Headwind MDM does not have call activities and cannot execute commands to forward calls.

I guess you need to explicitly indicate the package name for the call intent:

Push command type: runApp

Payload: {pkg: "com.android.server.telecom", action: "android.intent.action.CALL", data: "tel:%23%23002%23"}

I've tried with a simple android native app to check and this needs to be requested in android manifest: android.permission.CALL_PHONE

For example {pkg: "com.google.android.dialer", action: "android.intent.action.DIAL", data: "tel:%23%23002%23"} works, opens the app and dials the number perfectly, because android.intent.action.DIAL doesn't require the missing permission android.intent.action.CALL
