Description Leo Gaspard 2024-12-19 11:29:51 UTC
When connected to an Android 15 phone (GrapheneOS variant) running KDE connect 1.32.5, KDE connect often replaces notification contents as "Sensitive notification content hidden"

If I understand correctly this message https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/17299-one-time-sms-codes-hidden-as-sensitive-notification-content , this is due to KDE connect not requesting the `RECEIVE_SENSITIVE_NOTIFICATIONS` permission. I checked in "all permissions" and it seems to not be requested.

The link also suggests there might be limitations on Android's side to actually accept the permission. But I'm not sure it's correct, and if KDE connect doesn't request it, even Android forks would be unable to grant it.

Can KDE connect request this permission, and once done we can see whether it's worth suggesting Android forks start adding a toggle for this permission? Hopefully KDE connect simply requesting the permission would be enough to solve this issue.

Anyway, thank you for KDE connect, I've only been using it for a short while, but it seems great!

I see the same on my stock Pixel 7 Android 15.

Taking the RECEIVE_SENSITIVE_NOTIFICATIONS permission requires the app to be installed in the system partition, but you can add it yourself at runtime using the steps in the wiki: https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Sensitive_Notification_Content_(Android_15+)
