- core/res/AndroidManifest.xml: declare MANAGE_CLOUD_MEDIA_PROVIDERS permission with signature|privileged protection level - data/etc/privapp-permissions-platform.xml: allowlist Immich (app.alextran.immich) to hold the new permission The CloudMediaProvider implementation already exists in AOSP's MediaProvider (pulled via LineageOS). The only missing piece was the permission declaration itself.

I dont see point of elevating this permission. If it is needed by app, add it for the app itself. |

This patch declares the missing
android.permission.MANAGE_CLOUD_MEDIA_PROVIDERSpermission that's required for apps like Immich to act as cloud media providers on Android 16.Changes
core/res/AndroidManifest.xmlMANAGE_CLOUD_MEDIA_PROVIDERSpermission declaration withsignature|privilegedprotection level, placed alongside the existingMANAGE_MEDIApermission.data/etc/privapp-permissions-platform.xmlapp.alextran.immich) so it can hold theMANAGE_CLOUD_MEDIA_PROVIDERSpermission when installed as a privileged app or granted via root.Context
The
CloudMediaProviderimplementation already exists in AOSP'sandroid_packages_providers_MediaProvider(pulled from LineageOS). The only missing piece is the permission declaration itself. This benefits every crDroid user running Immich or any other cloud media provider app.
