temperature sensor app for Pixel 8 Pro doesn't work
According to this post https://xdaforums.com/t/thermometer-reverse-engineering.4635859/ it needs to be installed as system app.
FWIW after the latest thermometer app update it just crashes on startup:

Will this issue ever get fixed? I mean... it's kinda a useless feature most of the time, but I've once needed to get a chipset temperature for my job but didn't carry my thermometer with me, and realised that the temp sensor didn't work on my p8p. It could have been a very useful feature in rare cases when I don't have a thermometer with me
I'm willing to take a crack at solving this if someone can suggest a starting point!
Thanks @MichaByte Maybe the xda post in my comment above can give you a direction?

Sure thing @jonas-w! I looked at that post. The TL;DR is that the app needs to either be installed as a system app (needs either root or OS modification, both would compromise security) or just the permission com.google.sensor.permission.FAR_INFRARED_TEMPERATURE. Not sure where to start with this, and I'm not the best programmer, but I'm willing to try if I know where to look.
Trying to give the permission manually via adb also won't work. "Not changable permission type" yea well, I guess it's not gonna happen
