SecurityException: get application info: Neither user 1010069 nor current process has android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS

Question

I'm getting this weird crash. It seems like AlarmManager.set() cause this but I don't understand how nor why.

Stack trace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.rotem.appmanager.app.MainApplication: java.lang.SecurityException: get application info: Neither user 1010069 nor current process has android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS.

       at com.rotem.appmanager.app.DailyAppTasksHelper.scheduleNextDailyAlarm(SourceFile:81)

The code:

    Context context = MainApplication.getAppContext();

    Intent intent = new Intent(context, PrepareAppService.class);

    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, CommonConfig.PendingIntentRequestCodes.ALARM_SCHEDULE_SELF_UPDATE, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

    // cancel any existing alarms
    alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);

    // Set the alarm to start at approx. 14:00
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
    calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 14);

    alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
`

I don't want to the add this permission.

How can this be caused/reproduced?

It is signature level permission. So you should add android:protectionLevel="signature" in manifest file and if your target API is 23 then you should use run time permission. – Linguiform

Your code looks pretty harmless. Maybe something else in your project is causing the problem. Check out this post: several other developers experienced this behavior for very different reasons and managed to fix it one way or the other. – Brooklime
