Description

This is for the Google Daydream app. If I understand correctly, the signature would need to be added here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/blob/master/play-services-core/src/main/java/org/microg/gms/common/PackageUtils.java#L48

Research direction

Start in play-services-core/src/main/java/org/microg/gms/common/PackageUtils.java at the referenced line and inspect how permission signatures are defined. Trace the handling of com.google.android.vr.home and verify that the EXTENDED_ACCESS permission is recognized for the Google Daydream app. Done means the missing permission is represented there and the relevant behavior can be verified.
