Description ddowie 2023-01-09 06:58:02 UTC 
KdeConnect fails to send SMS message due to permission error (No permission to access APN settings)? 
All permissions are allowed for the KDEConnect app in the android. (Phone, SMS, Call logs, Contacts, Misic and audio...)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install KdeConnect on android 13 (samsug galaxy s21 ultra)
2. install GsConnect client on PC
3. send SMS from Gsconnect

OBSERVED RESULT
SMS message is not sent. Typed message content stays greyed out then dissapears.

EXPECTED RESULT
SMS message written on the pc should be sent through the KDEConnect app on the device(android)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04
(available in About System)
Gnome 42.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Log on the PC side shows that message was sent to device:

"type": "kdeconnect.sms.request",
"body": {

"phoneNumber": "+3xxxxxxxxx",
"messageBody": "test5"
}
}

On the device adb logcat shows exception:
