Read SMS problem with Android 13

MIT App Inventor Help
1

I write this simple app that read sms that i received on my smartphone.

The same apk file is installed on two phone: the first with Android 10 and the second with Android 13.

The app correctly reads text messages on the Android 10 phone but does not read anything on the Android 13 phone.

On both phones, before starting the application, I allowed the app to access SMS and contacts.

Can anyone help me fix this Android 13 phone problem?

If you are asking for help, I recommend you to make it as easy for others to be able to help you ...
You probably will get more feedback then...

which means in your case post a screenshot of your relevant blocks...

To download the aia file, upload it to App Inventor, open it, do some bug hunting for you, etc... this takes time, and most people will not do that...
Thank you.

Hi, did you ever get this sorted as I cannot even receive text messages on my phone, so if you don't mind, I'd like to try your app to see if it works.

It looks like the original question has been overseen... sorry for answering late...

those blocks look fine and after an sms has been received should display the number and text in these labels if your app is up and running. In case the app is not running, a notification should be displayed, however there was a bug, see here, but this has been fixed meanwhile. To display the notification, post notification permission is required

So in Screen.Initialize just add an AskForPermission block from the Screen drawer together with the text android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

@AlanJ which blocks did you try and which device and Android verison are you using for your tests?

Btw. if your app is not running and you not only want a notification but wake up your app or do something in the background, then you might be interested in
