MAUI Email.ComposeAsync function call throws FeatureNotSupportedException on Android

I'm about to publish an application on Google Play, but my package was rejected because it uses this permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES" />

I included this permission in the AndroidManifest.xml because calling the Email.ComposeAsync function would result in a FeatureNotSupportedException without it.

        var message = new EmailMessage
        {
            Subject = $"Új funkció kérése / Hiba bejelentés ({AppInfo.AppName} {AppInfo.AppVersion})",
            Body = "Tisztelt Szoftverfejlesztő!\r\n\r\nKérés / hiba leírása...\r\n\r\nÜdvözlettel\r\n\r\n",
            To = [AppInfo.AppEmail],
            BodyFormat = EmailBodyFormat.PlainText
        };
        
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(AppInfo.DevEmail))
        {
            message.Bcc = [AppInfo.DevEmail];
        }

        //await Email.Default.ComposeAsync(message).ConfigureAwait(false);
        await Email.ComposeAsync(message).ConfigureAwait(false);

I checked the documentation , and it doesn't specify which permission I should add for this function call to work or why it requires the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission.

These are the exception details:

Microsoft.Maui.ApplicationModel.FeatureNotSupportedException

The best approach would be to avoid using the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission. Is there a possibility to do this?

Solution

  • according to the docs, you need to add this to the Android manifest

    <queries> 
  <intent> 
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SENDTO" /> 
    <data android:scheme="mailto" /> 
  </intent> 
</queries>
