Description

Bug report

  • I've checked the example to reproduce the issue.

  • Reproduced on:

  • Android

Description

I am trying to understand better the required permissions in order to improve the user experience. I could not make the callkeep works correctly without SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW (Draw over other apps). Is it possible to remove this permission?

Also, considering I am using system managed, is it possible to remove the Calling accounts or even setup automatically?

Versions

- Callkeep: 4.0.1
- React Native:  63.1
- iOS:
- Android: 10 & 11
- Phone model:  Samsung, Motorolas

Research direction

Start with the Android-related behavior in the example, focusing on SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW and the system-managed Calling accounts described in the report. Determine whether those permissions and account setup can be removed or automated on Android 10 and 11; the issue does not name a file or test that defines completion.
