Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, net8.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

VS2022, NET8

Description

The goal is to specify a FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE permission using a Service attribute.
This issue is a continuation of this issue: #8409, which was closed after fixing a problem that prevented the foregroundServiceType to be filled in the AndroidManifest.xml.
The issue that remains is that is isn't possible to declare the PROPERTY_SPECIAL_USE_FGS_SUBTYPE for "special use" via an attribute: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/changes/fgs-types-required#special-use

Did you find any workaround?

I was able to workaround the problem by manually adding the service tag in the AndroidManifex.xml and giving my Service an explicit name

<service android:foregroundServiceType="specialUse" android:name="my.app.MyService">
   <property android:name="android.app.PROPERTY_SPECIAL_USE_FGS_SUBTYPE"
             android:value="Explanation on why I am using this service type"/>
</service>

[Service(Name = "my.app.MyService")]
sealed class FocusSessionService : Service
{ 
}
