Description

Hello !

In my latest push messages troubleshooting session, I eventually solved my issue by finding https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid#issues and doing the following :

if you can't make any app registering for Google Cloud Messaging, try the following

  • open the Phone app and dial the following: *#*#2432546#*#* (or *#*#CHECKIN#*#*)

Though this solved my issue, I found it a bit frustrating that I couldn't find it earlier/more easily, and that got me thinking about an improvement :

In the same way as the "Request permissions" in MicroG settings, why not add a "Tap to dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*" to the most appropriate check item ?

(In the same way, why not add a "Tap to open app permissions and allow "Signature spoofing"" ?)

Research direction

Start in MicroG settings at the existing "Request permissions" check and trace how its action is exposed. Compare the requested check-in action with the Phone app dialing *#*#CHECKIN#*#*; done means the appropriate check item offers a tap action that triggers this flow, with the signature-spoofing suggestion clarified separately.
