F-Droid privileged extension permissions error

Open mannp opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I have f-droid enabled, and it works well, except the privileged extension gives me a privileged permissions' error when trying to use it.

A bit of searching, and it appears this maybe because the devices are not rooted, but I am unclear if this is expected behaviour for robotnix lineageos builds?

I presume robotonix builds are not rooted by default, so is this error expected in that case?

The following configuration will enable the [F-Droid app](https://www.f-droid.org/) and the [F-Droid privileged extension](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension).

{
    apps.fdroid.enable = true;
}

The F-Droid privileged extension enables F-Droid to install and delete apps without needing "Unknown Sources" to be enabled (e.g. just like Google Play does). It also enables F-Droid to install updates in the background without the user having to click "install".
