TestDPC app is not responding and eventually crashes when the notifications permission is not granted #227
Description
Hello. We use it when we don't want to use a real UEM. I've just installed the TestDPC app from the Google Play:
- version 9.0.12
- device Google Pixel 7
- OS Android 15 Beta (AP31.240517.031)
STRs:
- Sign in with a Google account so you can download the app from Google Play
- Download and install the TestDPC app
- Remove the Google account so the device owner can be set
- Set the device owner using this adb command
adb shell dpm set-device-owner "com.afwsamples.testdpc/.DeviceAdminReceiver"
- Sign the Google account back - this step may be optional, but we do it
- Start the TestDPC app
- Do not grant the notifications permission when prompted - I'm prompted twice - declined both
- Try to work with the app - the UI is frozen, it doesn't react, except for scrolling. The logcat in Android Studio is flooded with a repeating pattern of logs and the app eventually crashes.
- Try to start the app again - the same behaviour.

The notifications permission is mentioned. Granting the permission in the Settings -> Apps -> etc. makes the app working again :)
