Description HerrZufall 2023-05-25 00:35:16 UTC 
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
