I need to compile an application with system permissions in order to use target application com.android.settings. For now while I try to run my apk I get the error message
Test run failed: Permission Denial:
starting instrumentation
ComponentInfo{com.jayway.test/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner}
from pid=354, uid=354 not allowed
because package com.jayway.test does
not have a signature matching the
target com.android.settings
How can I compile my application with system permissions?
After having some search I found how to sign my application with system (platform) key.
System signatures are located in directory
<root-of-android-source-tree>/build/target/product/security. You can use them to sign your application with system privileges.
