App permissions in kiosk mode Solved

I got another experience while testing the same scenario. I tried the kiosk with Truecaller and I can grant the permissions through app while I am in the kiosk state. Maybe the fault of the app you used?

Hey @aimi and @chizu,
Welcome to the Hexnode community.

Applications may redirect to the Settings app on initial launch to grant the required permissions. If an app tries to redirect to another app that is not present in the kiosk app list during kiosk mode, the app may close abruptly. Add the Settings app in the kiosk mode to avoid the issue.
Another alternative is to provide the required permissions for the app before locking the device in kiosk mode. This will not require the Settings app to be included as a kiosk app.

Hey @chizu, some apps allow in-app permissions, eliminating the need to switch to the Settings app to grant the necessary permissions. As a result, when the app prompts for permissions, the user can grant them directly, without the Settings app added to the kiosk. The process for granting the required permissions relies entirely on the app in use.

Hope it serves your needs.

I cant find the settings app. I tried searching the app list with ‘setttings’ as the constraint. There are many app pakages being listed when doing this. 2-3 pages of apps are there.

Search correctly for ‘com.android.settings’; this can vary according to devices and their os versions.

Say if I want to restrict the in-app permissions for the app. Do we have an option for that.

Set the option runtime app permissions in the advanced restrictions to deny. That should hopefully disable the granting of app permissions when it is launched.

Thanks Niha
