Fix For Device With A Restrictive Account

[nochlab1]

If you have a device that lets you have multiple users and one of the users is a Restrictive user then you get this error
Error while building the TUN interface
java.lang.SecurityException: getPackageUid: Neither user 10515 nor current process has android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS.
Now i have other vpns not installed from play stor that do work but i have figured out another solution
I added this

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

To the android manifest and rebuilt the app then used this command in adb

adb shell pm grant com.adguard.android android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

And now it works

(No root android 9 Samsung oneui 1.5)

Please put in this fix
Thanks

Hmm, there's one more thing to it then.

1. We should detect when we're not allowed to run VPN due to lack of the INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS permission
2. Once it happens, we should show a dialog that explains how to fix this (e.g. install adb and grant permission).
3. We should add a knowledge base article about this:
   • Why there is such an issue and why Play store apps don't have it
   • How to fix this

In root mode you could do it automatically no need for adb

We already had a similar task, #173
Also, Google has a special guide on how to build the multiuser-aware application.

The problem is with Android itself. Here are some bugs not with VPN, but similar:

I couldn't repeat this behavior on Emulators from 7.1.1 to 10. And on Lineage 17 on my phone.

So on android 7.1.1 you created a restricted account and on the main account adguard vpn still started?
