Android Question The app is not recognized as a dialer in Android 13 and above

[S.M.R]

Hello
I added the following code to the manifest so that the app can be selected as the default dialer of the phone and perform dialing operations.
By the way, I also entered the necessary permissions

But as long as I set the target to 32, everything is fine, but if I set the target to 33, the app is no longer recognized as a dialer, and it seems that these codes do not work!!!

Does anyone know what the problem is?

AddActivityText(Main,
            <intent-filter>
                <!-- Handle links from other applications -->
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />

                <!-- Populate the system chooser -->
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        
                <!-- Handle links in browsers -->
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:scheme="tel" />
            </intent-filter>
    
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
    )

Did you configure your device and set your app as the device default dialer in the settings?

I have described the problem exactly
The problem is that if I set the target to 33 in the manifest, the application is no longer recognized as a dialer, but if the target is less than 33, everything is fine!!!!

Unfortunately not solved ?

can you give me b4a source that work on android 33?

You will need to look in Android documentation and see whether there is a new requirement. I didn't find anything.

I think this may be a b4a bug problem

Because as long as the targetSdkVersion is equal to 32, everything works correctly, but when we set the targetSdkVersion to 33, this problem occurs.

As if <intent-filter> doesn't work!

Maybe you need to add more permission declarations in the Manifest. According to Android Docs, your app needs:

android.permission.MANAGE_OWN_CALLS

Someone on stackoverflow.com ran into similar issues and they also added:

android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

This one needs an additional runtime permissions request.

I would go with the MANAGE_OWN_CALLS first and then add READ_PHONE_STATE if it still does not work.

This isn't a B4A bug as it all depends on the generated AndroidManifest.xml file. You can check it yourself.

Why not just take a look at a couple of manifest files for the dialers in the app store?
