Reopening for now.

This will be fixed in the upcoming update (presumably v2.10.2) with Android 11 beta.

Having the same error despite having the app installed as a system app. Could it be why my kernel-space wireguard connection is not working?

[Mygod]

Currently Android 8-10 still requires system app installation for reading/writing system Wi-Fi configuration. The only solution for now is to install the app as system app, or update to Android 11 or newer.

Please read README for the most up-to-date information.

Hi there are some good pics of my

Would it also be necessary to modify the privileged permission whitelist?

As noted here in this stack overflow post.

For example, since I'm building it for Google Pixel XL (Marlin) - might I also need to adjust this file to make this work properly.

@gWOLF3 As far as I am concerned, installing this app as system app in priv-app should solve everything on Android 8-10, and the app should work out of the box for other versions. Let me know if this is not the case.

[gWOLF3]

Indeed this seems to not be the case.

I am running:

Android 10
Lineage OS 17.1

See the System failure error on bootup from the log here

For boot to complete, it is needed is to also add the proper priv-app permission whitelist:

Here is the commit to my aosp fork for example, which fixes this issue on boot.

If it makes sense, I will submit a PR to document this on README with what is required and on which devices.

You should give it root permissions to make everything work. Simply making it a system app will not work.
