requesting SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission in MAUI

Question

I am trying to request SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission from AndriodManifest.xml but no permission is requested when app builds and runs. I've tried adding it in the OnCreate method of MainActivity too but still the same result.

Hello,

If you want to request SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission, you need to ask users to grant the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission.

1.In your app's UI, explain to the user why your app needs to schedule exact alarms.
2.Invoke an intent that includes the ACTION_REQUEST_SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM intent action.

You can invoke an intent like following code.

   Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse("package:" + Android.App.Application.Context.ApplicationInfo.PackageName);  
    //https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings#ACTION_REQUEST_SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM  
   Intent intent = new Intent(Android.Provider.Settings.ActionRequestScheduleExactAlarm, uri);  
   StartActivity(intent);  

Best Regards,

Leon Lu
