[Bug] Apps remain listed in "Battery unrestricted apps" after changing to Optimized or Restricted

[vitalexbel]

Summary

After manually changing an app's battery optimization setting from Unrestricted to Optimized or Restricted, the app still appears in the "Battery unrestricted apps" list inside Permission Pilot. This persists even after reopening the app or refreshing the list.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Permission Pilot.
2. Go to the Battery unrestricted apps category.
3. Tap the info icon (i) next to an app listed there.
4. Navigate to the system Battery settings for that app.
5. Change the setting from Unrestricted to Optimized or Restricted.
6. Return to Permission Pilot and check the Battery unrestricted apps list again.

Expected Behavior

The app should no longer appear in the Battery unrestricted apps list after its battery setting is changed to Optimized or Restricted.

Actual Behavior

The app remains in the list, even after a refresh or app restart.

Device & Environment

Device: Samsung A50
Android Version: 14 (Fresh OS)
Permission Pilot Version: 2.1.0-rc0
One UI Version: 6.1.1

Additional Context

This might be an Android system-level behavior (possibly Samsung-specific), or a caching/refresh issue within Permission Pilot. I’m reporting this in case it can be fixed or worked around on the app side.

Thank you for looking into this!

Thanks for the careful report — turned out to be a filter predicate bug on our side, not a Samsung / One UI quirk.

Internally, an app's battery state is tracked as one of IGNORED (whitelisted = Unrestricted), OPTIMIZED (declares the permission but is not whitelisted), or MANAGED_BY_SYSTEM (doesn't declare the permission). The "Battery unrestricted apps" category was matching != MANAGED_BY_SYSTEM, which incorrectly included OPTIMIZED. So when you flipped an app from Unrestricted to Optimized, our scan correctly updated the value, but the filter still matched it — exactly what you observed.

Fix in #360: the category and the apps-list filter now match only IGNORED. After this lands, the app will drop out of the list as soon as the next package scan runs (manual refresh, package install/remove, or app launch).
