Grant User Credential Permission to an app programtaically via another Device Owner App
One of my apps requires the use of a User Credential, already installed into the android store.
If I try to access the certificates via using the KeyChain class, I obtain an exception:
android.security.KeyChainException:IllegalStateException: uid doesn't
have permission to access the requested alias
I want to avoid the user from having to manually "select" the user credential prompt.
Instead, I have a separate app, already set as a "device owner" to configure all of this.
Is there some API using the device owner app, where I can grant permission to the app trying to access the installed user credential?
