Flutter build fails in Samsung phone , Permission Denial: broadcast from android asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0

Question

Trying to build a previously working app on Samsung Note 8 phone , This is the error Permission Denial: broadcast from android asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0

• Not working on Samsung Note 8 , Android version 9
• Working on Mi A3 , Android Version 11

Now I understand INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL permissions are required by only system apps accessing system functionalities . This app of mine was working properly before , upgraded flutter and dart versions , also upgraded the Mobile OS .

Even added these permissions in all manifest files , still not working ,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL"/>

Tried this SO also , even worked once by tweaking the developer options on phone as I put an answer here tweaking developer options but now that also is not working .

This is my flutter doctor out ,

[✓] Flutter (Channel master, 2.6.0-1.0.pre.153, on macOS 11.5.1 20G80 darwin-x64, locale en-IN)

[✓] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 12.4)
[✓] Chrome - develop for the web
[✓] Android Studio (version 2020.3)
[✓] Connected device (2 available)

And the Full error is like this ,

Solution

This is an issue with latest Flutter version , I fixed it with the below eidt ,

This is a workaround and it works for me .

1. go to MainActivity.kt
2. Import import android.os.Build
3. Paste this

    override fun onFlutterUiDisplayed() {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 100) { //I gave 100 just to confirm , it shoud be android ver 10
            reportFullyDrawn();
        }
    }

4. flutter clean
5. flutter run
