I am trying to avoid a click-bait title.\u00a0 Some apps are breaking on Android Pie or Android 9<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

F-Droid\u00a0 –\u00a0 Unable to assign “Unknown apps” permission, because it does not appear in the list.<\/del><\/p>\n

ES File Manager – same as above<\/p>\n

Wifi Automatic –\u00a0 Cannot turn on\/off Wifi<\/p>\n

Tap’n’Turn –\u00a0 After screen lock, it is unable to rotate the screen<\/p>\n

Jabra Assist – Crash on launch<\/del><\/p>\n

Android Pie is currently cutting-edge software, so some apps breaking or ‘bleeding’ is to be expected.\u00a0 The issue that most concerns me is that the app must be recognized by Android to be able to given permission. Before Android Oreo, there is a master switch to allow the installation of non-Play Store apps by enabling “Unknown apps” in Settings.\u00a0 From Oreo onwards, this is done on a per-app basis.<\/p>\n

What if one day Android decides not to recognize any app for “Unknown apps” permission?\u00a0 Thus blocking all third party apps?<\/p>\n

Edit: 2 Sep<\/p>\n

After some searching, I have decided it might be due to all the layers of Alpha code.\u00a0 So I wiped the system partition, and put back Magisk and Gapps.\u00a0 All the apps lost their permissions, and F-droid permission prompt came!<\/p>\n

Last Nitrogen build 13 Sep got the Jabra app working!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
