Keep granted runtime permissions after restore
Marking this as an enhancement because I don't think it's a bug, but it's slightly less-than-ideal behavior.
Steps to reproduce:
- Make sure an app has runtime permissions granted - for example, for Aves Libre, grant Notifications, Photos and videos.
- Run a backup that includes the app.
- From Backup settings, tap the menu and choose Restore.
- Select the most recent backup.
- (Optional) Uncheck all apps; then, check the single app you modified so that it's the only one restored.
- Proceed through to the end of the restore wizard. (No need to restore files.)
Ideal result: The app does not lose its granted permissions.
Actual result: The app loses its granted permissions and will typically prompt for them when opened again.
I am currently not sure if this is feasible to resolve or how stock handles it.
