Appium cannot allow permissions when Target SDK is 22 or lower and is running in Android 10 (API level 29) or higher

The problem

When I try to run Appium with an APK with a Target SDK equal or lower than 22 and it runs on an emulator or mobile device that has Android 10 (API level 29) or higher it fails to give the respective permissions. Because of this.

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 2.2.0
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Windows 10
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 10 (API Level 29)
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Pixel 4a
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium-Python-Client

Screen in the emulator when the error is generated:

The execution was tested with this app, but the same happens with any app with a target sdk equal to or less than 22.

oh, sorry, it could be confused. -g is added by Appium when you have appium:autoGrantPermissions: true for android 6+ device in the app installation 😃

Only installation -g option helped for target sdk is lower than and equal to 22 in current Android OS’s behaviors.

So far, "appium:fullReset": true and appium:autoGrantPermissions: true helps for your current combination, or you should start a session without app, then install the app/start the app and launch the app. Then, you need to allow the permission with find element the ‘Continue’ and click it in your test scenario.

Android OS gives permissions information to Appium to grant permissions against installed app over target sdk 23 as https://github.com/appium/appium-adb/blob/ecf8dfd975c23cff7300047756c59cc2808a063a/lib/tools/adb-commands.js#L332, but lower than the version cannot know such into.
