Android Version: 11
Version of VS: 16.11.5
Version of Xamarin: 16.11
Hello, i'm very new to Xamarin development and I'm trying to send a background SMS.
my AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" package="com.companyname.helloworld" android:installLocation="preferExternal">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" />
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="21" android:targetSdkVersion="30" />
<application android:label="HelloWorld.Android" android:theme="@style/MainTheme">
<provider android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider" android:authorities="HelloWorld.Android.fileprovider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/file_paths"></meta-data>
</provider>
</application>
</manifest>
This code works but it doesn't send the SMS automatically.
Code:
var smsMessenger = CrossMessaging.Current.SmsMessenger;
if (smsMessenger.CanSendSms)
{
try
{
smsMessenger.SendSms("+351xxxxxxxxx", "Well hello there from Xam.Messaging.Plugin");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
When i try to run this code, i get this Exception:
The error clearly indicates that the tag android.permission.SEND_SMS isn't present, but it is .. and smsMessenger.SendSms works fine..
Sorry if this is a newbie question, but i would be much appreciated if you could help me :)
