Custom setupwizard + google setupwizard -> homescreen

  • Referred GmsSampleIntegration
  • Written a separate custom setup wizard application(apk)
  • Custom setupwizard is launching successfully
  • While launching google setupwizard after custom setupwizard facing below: Unable to resume activity {com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.network.NetworkActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: NetworkScoreService: Neither user 10037 nor current process has android.permission.REQUEST_NETWORK_SCORES.
