Unable to request android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS

[tarasverq]

Description

Hi.

Looks like after merging PR #14203 - Remove ReceiveSms added by default it's impossible to request android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS permission at all. It's not in the list anymore.

The problem is in the file Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.Permissions.android.cs
I think it should look like this:

public partial class Sms : BasePlatformPermission
{
	public override (string androidPermission, bool isRuntime)[] RequiredPermissions
	{
		get
		{
			var permissions = new List<(string, bool)>
			{
			};

			if (IsDeclaredInManifest(Manifest.Permission.SendSms))
				permissions.Add((Manifest.Permission.SendSms, true));
			if (IsDeclaredInManifest(Manifest.Permission.ReadSms))
				permissions.Add((Manifest.Permission.ReadSms, true));
			if (IsDeclaredInManifest(Manifest.Permission.ReceiveWapPush))
				permissions.Add((Manifest.Permission.ReceiveWapPush, true));
			if (IsDeclaredInManifest(Manifest.Permission.ReceiveMms))
				permissions.Add((Manifest.Permission.ReceiveMms, true));


			--> if (IsDeclaredInManifest(Manifest.Permission.ReceiveSms))
			-->	 permissions.Add((Manifest.Permission.ReceiveSms, true));

			return permissions.ToArray();
		}
	}
}

My app needs this permission to process messages in background using BroadcastReceiver, but I'm unable to request it :(
I have a proper line in my Manifest file, but anyway it doesn't work:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Good catch, I agree, we should be still adding it to the list of requested permissions if it's defined in the manifest, just like the others.

For now you could always implement your own Sms permission class with the correct code until this fix gets merged and released.
