Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/965

Originally assigned to: @jberkel on GitHub.

I have my Google Pixel XL running version QPP5.190530.014 and I just received a security update. After installing the update I got a notification that says Permission problem: the following permission is required: Access SMS Messages.

I have allowed this app all permissions.
It has always worked before this latest update.

I always keep everything updated.
I am running the very latest version of SMS Backup+ that it shows available in the play store version 1.5.11.
Android version 10, all updates installed.
Stock Google Messaging app.

In case it's useful info, I'm seeing the same behavior with TiBu (an older APK) on both a Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Worked fine on DP2 on both phones but not on DP3.

Does it keep asking, or was that a one-off?

Google adjusts the Android permissions system from time to time, and newly created permissions are not automatically granted to any app, even if the user previously said "grant all".

In my case the messages always displayed.

Again speaking in my case I have checked a few times to make sure that all permissions are granted. So even if any new ones came along I would see that.

This is possibly a duplicate of #958.

There was a change to some permission handling in Android Q which required a patch to the app.

Please try the new beta version (1.6.0-BETA1).

Different error message received at a separate time than #958 but unknown if it was the same root cause.

I can confirm that I just tried this for the first time since 1.6.0-BETA1 and this issue is now resolved and the app is working again.
