I am trying to add Android 6.0 support in my Existing Android App. I have used SYNCADAPTER
to sync data. its working fine till API 22. but in 23 (ANDROID 6.0) they have remove Group permission AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
.
I found sample how to get run-time permission, I tried same with AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
but it is not working.
I also found one answer, Is there any trick to use AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
same as that answer?
i found removed permissions list overhere. so if my app use that permission which is listed. in that case does any app works in Android M (6.0)?
There is no longer need AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS on Android 6.0.
you can use android:maxSdkVersion="22"
on your uses-permission element to stop requesting it as of Android 6.0.
As mentioned in comment by CommonsWare Sir and this blog helped to understand more on this issue.
AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS this permission no exist any more, as google project manager said.
Issue 2592: Requesting AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission prompts to: 'Allow app to perform an unknown action'
We'll have to wait for a future preview revision to pursue this because the M revision 2 'key changes'
section states: "Some accounts and identity permissions are moved to
CONTACTS permissions group and others are removed or granted based on
account type. In particular, android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS,
android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS, and
android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS are ungrouped pending further
changes in a later release."
