Update README Android Permission part for Android 14

[utkudenis]

Hi Agora,

Play Store directly control Foreground permission for android 14. If target SDK android 14 , package readme cannot help us.

Can you update it ?

[utkudenis]

Especially for Media Projection.

[utkudenis]

we tried your suggestion on the PR https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Flutter-SDK/issues/1458 it solves our problem but it must be on the Readme.

You may find a better aproach :)

We are having problems with the PlayStore with the following permissions:

• FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA

• FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK

• FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE

How can we solve the issue if we are not currently using this foreground services?

I think you should first check where the permission comes from by viewing the <your-project>/build/app/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt

Here's the report of our example:

uses-permission#android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION
ADDED from [io.agora.rtc:full-screen-sharing:4.2.6] /Users/xxx/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/e7cd6c6a6609aed2b4d7925f5922d8f2/transformed/jetified-full-screen-sharing-4.2.6/AndroidManifest.xml:8:5-94
	android:name
		ADDED from [io.agora.rtc:full-screen-sharing:4.2.6] /Users/xxx/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/e7cd6c6a6609aed2b4d7925f5922d8f2/transformed/jetified-full-screen-sharing-4.2.6/AndroidManifest.xml:8:22-91

After applying the https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Flutter-SDK/issues/1458#issuecomment-1844835294, the permission in the manifest is gone.

Thank you for the answer @littleGnAl . I have added the following in the build.gradle

Because of that now I don't have any of the FOREGROUND_SERVICE_XXX permissions on my manifest_merger that were appearing before. However, when I try to upload the app to playStore I still get the same issues about not-declared foreground services: (Health is okay, I have added that manually)

[littleGnAl]

@albaschez I think you can easily check where those permissions come from by viewing the <your-project>/build/app/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt

[albaschez]

@littleGnAl They do not appear in the manifest-merger-release-report. I add as an example HEALTH, which is the one that should be appearing, but CAMERA for example does not bring any result, nor do MEDIA_PLAYBACK or MICROPHONE.

[littleGnAl]

Ok, I correct the path <your-project>/build/app/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-<build-type>-report.txt. So in your case, you haven't built the release apk yet, so you can check it from your manifest-merger-staging-debug-report.txt.

[albaschez]

Re-launched it in production-release, same issue. Providing same examples

[littleGnAl]

Can you check the manifest file in your final APK in Android Studio to see if these permissions exist or not? I'm not very sure how the PlayStore analyzes the permission, if you found that these permissions do not exist in the manifest file, I think you'd better raise an issue to the PlayStore to see how to work next step.

[albaschez]

I have done it using AndroidStudio, and the only one that appears in the manifest is Health.

[littleGnAl]

@albaschez I think it's better to raise an issue to the Play Store for your issue.

[albaschez]

@littleGnAl Thank you for your time. I'll raise them an issue and I'll update here when they answer back
