Reading SMS with Texting - Error RECEIVE_SMS permission

[sg11]

I am trying to read the SMS received with Texting.
I receive an error regrading RECEIVE_SMS - an android permission.
I also tried AskForPermission for this event, but I got PermissionDenied. How can I enable my application to read SMSs?

which Android version are you using for your tests?
are you using a companion version, which ends in u? see also

Texting when message Received

If you’re trying to test this in the companion, make sure that you’re using a companion version that ends in ‘u’. Otherwise, the functionality won’t work as we had to remove it from the version of the companion we publish via Google Play.

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

@sg11

how can I download version 2.58a u

the u versions are not available in Google Play, you have to download it manually
to download the companion, in App Inventor from the Menu select Help - Companion Information and download the companion app there
