Google Family Link may require special handling like Contacts

Could be similar to #589.

Launching Google Family Link results in the app saying "Error while loading accounts. Tap to retry.". In logcat, I see

Is there a way I could grant this EXTENDED_ACCESS without recompiling?

[ale5000-git]

@mar-v-in I have the same problem.

Log:

Not granting extended access to [com.google.android.apps.kids.familylink], signature: 88652b8464743e5ce80da0d4b890d13f9b1873df

[mar-v-in]

Have you checked if granting contacts permission through system settings solves this issue?

[ale5000-git]

I have tried to disable and re-enable all permissions of Google Family Link in the Android settings (including contacts), nothing change.

I'm on Android 7.

[overclock98]

Is there any fix for this?

[jfmcbrayer]

Just popping in to note that I have this issue as well; it's clearly the missing EXTENDED_ACCESS permission, since granting contacts permission doesn't solve the problem. I tried adding it through ADB, but since the package obviously hasn't requested that permission, it wouldn't let me. So I suppose this needs a fix in microg itself.

[ale5000-git]

Could you please update to the latest nightly build of microG GmsCore and report back?

Could you please update to the latest nightly build of microG GmsCore and report back?

I'm sorry, I can't; I don't currently have a device to experiment with.

[ale5000-git]

I have tried it and it recognize the account correctly although I haven't tried all the configuration to the end.

[Pazu]

Somehow I have got Family Link (1.99.0.B.485166177) to work even before the patch in #1787. However, the location maps don't work. I'm on e/OS/ 1.5 with microG Core 0.2.24.223616-96 (f87cb98)-noen.

[ale5000-git]

The microG builds from e/OS/ are different (and not always in sync) so you can't be sure what commit they include.

[ale5000-git]

About the location maps problem please open a separate issue.
