SUMMARY *** The App connects and remote mouse works from android to linux but not from linux to android. It seems that kde connect doesn't ask to get permission for accessebility. I'm using a Galaxy S9+ with Android 10 and Kali-Linux or Ubuntu-Studio. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect App 2. Start Remote (Ferneingabe) on Linux 3. Klick on 'Lock' OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens on the Android. EXPECTED RESULT Mouse-Movement and clicks should be seen on android. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kali GNU Xfce 4.18 GTK 3.24.37 Android: Galaxy S9+ Android 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Google didn't let us publish the app anymore with that usage of the accessibility permission. I tried reaching out to Google to understand why but failed (I just got generic "this is not allowed" responses, from the various people I managed to talk to), so I had to remove that functionality from the app to be able to publish it. It sucks, because I think we are not doing anything against the policies, but speaking with Google is impossible in my experience.
Hi! Thanks for the Reply! Is there any workaround, like installing an older version, or the version from F-Droid? I love this feature. Cheers
The KDE Connect app available in F-Droid may work for you. I have this installed through Neo Store (which is a front end to F-Droid), and I can control my phone with the mouse on my Linux system. This is on a Sony Xperia with Android 12. kdeconnect on Android 12 - 1.30.1 Operating System: Solus 4.5 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.6.3 Would you mind trying the F-Droid version to see if that works?
