Im trying to check – if app has an permission or not, but recive negative result independently of real state of permission – turn it on or off via adb – same result from checkSelfPermission.

My code to check:

    private fun checkInstallPermission(): Boolean {
        return ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
    }

so this is always negative, rather if im do adb shell appops … permission allow

My manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />

Target API: 31
Min API: 30

Im tried to access permissions directly or via package name – same result.

Expecting that this method will be true in case of permission requested and granted.
