Background start not allowed on incoming push

microG Setting shows incoming push is received, but unable to start riot.im app

Please report this to Riot: the logs show that Riot was actually started, "EventStreamServiceX" (which is the service logging most of these messages) is part of Riot, not microG.

Riot works fine with Lineageos 16.0 2019-06-18 + opengapps pico

[532910]

Riot has no permission "run in background". Is microg tries to start it "in background" and shoud just usually start?

[mar-v-in]

I am not sure, however microG does correctly start the Riot EventStreamServiceX, so it is Riots task to correctly start any further service if needed.

SoundCloud receives pushes well.

I have a similar problem with identiconizer at bootup:

When battery optimization is off for riot and identiconizer all works fine. When it's optimized I see the errors above. But on the Lineageos 16.0 + GAPPS riot.im works fine regardless the battery optimization setting.

So this it not a riot issue.

Identiconizer produces error on Lineageos 16.0 + GAPPS with battery optimization turned on, but it's not "FATAL EXCEPTION"

What version of microG are you running? This was supposed to have been fixed in the latest version, specifically by #732.

Do you happen to use a VPN?

[532910]

https://download.lineage.microg.org/oneplus3/lineage-16.0-20190618-microG-oneplus3.zip
it shows microG Services Core 0.2.7.17455-mapbox

No VPN right now.

[532910]

ZUK Z2 Plus works fine without setting battery optimization to Don't optimize.

https://download.lineage.microg.org/z2_plus/lineage-16.0-20190626-microG-z2_plus.zip
with the same microG Services Core 0.2.7.17455-mapbox

[532910]

Looks like it's compilation time (device configuration) problem.

[Gigadoc2]

In that case, I'd like to note that I have the same problem with https://download.lineage.microg.org/d855/lineage-15.1-20190626-microG-d855.zip

[532910]

I've do more tests, an this is definitely a riot.im issue.
