Description

To be able to use the self managed mode, you'll have to add the READ_CALL_LOG permission in your android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG"

I currently use the self managed mode for my application. I received a mail from google than explained the evolution of sensitive data and permissions (deadline August 2024):

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/13986130

So if we use READ_CALL_LOG permission, we need to have this requirement:

I don't want than my application becomes the default phone application.
My application must only manage calls coming from our service.

How to use self managed mode and respect Google requirement ?
Thanks

Research direction

Start with android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and review the linked Google Play policy for READ_CALL_LOG and self-managed mode. Determine whether the stated call-handling behavior can satisfy the policy without making the application the default phone app; the issue is complete only when that compatibility and any required project change are clearly established.
