android.permission-group.UNDEFINED permission

See original GitHub issue

After installing GmsCore-v0.2.11.202414.apk and rebooting, self-check does not allow me to grant permission to android.permission-group.UNDEFINED on my Android 10 device. The device is rooted and the apk is in /system/priv-app/.

Also had this issue (perhaps because I was doing a dirty upgrade), and was able to solve it by adding the permission manually in /data/system/users/0/runtime-permissions.xml:

<pkg name="com.google.android.gms">
  <item name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" granted="true" flags="3320" />

I wrote some more details about it in the XDA thread. Note that the flags= attribute is important.

Before that I also tried pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION which seems to work but doesn’t fix the problem.

The relevant permission in this case is android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION. Does it help to un-grant location permission (in system settings) and then re-grant (either through self-check or system settings)

I don’t think the location settings can be accessed from the UI at all, at least for me (Android 10, current LOS 17.1):

Permission Controller

This just takes me to Settings → Location, where I can only go to App permission → microG Services Core and get the same modal dialog again.

Hi everyone, i make XML patcher python script (i am not programmer so it may look ugly) it make @GeographicCone patch automatically. You can download patcher here I not know how correctly and safe modify XML file in shell script, so it written on python, it mean you also need python to use this patcher, so i also make python installer magisk module. You can download python here

It my first experience of making Magisk modeles, so it may contain errors.

P.S. @GeographicCone thanks for solution, it also work for AFWall+ storage problem.
