🐞Exception: expedited work (setExpedited) requires the 'android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SHORT_SERVICE'

[absar]

• I have read the README
• I have done the setup for Android
• I have done the setup for iOS
• I have ran the sample app and it does not work there

Version

Technology	Version
Workmanager version	0.10.7
workmanager_android	0.10.6

Describe the error
Getting below exception even though not changing the default permission included by the plugin

Workmanager().registerOneOffTask(
  Jobs.manualBackupJob.code,
  Jobs.manualBackupJob.code,
  existingWorkPolicy: ExistingWorkPolicy.replace,
  outOfQuotaPolicy: OutOfQuotaPolicy.runAsNonExpeditedWorkRequest,
  expedited: true,
);

You can also reproduce this with example app by pressing Register expedited task (Android)

The merged manifest contains both FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SHORT_SERVICE

manually declaring these in AndroidManifest.xml does not help either:

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

Thanks for the report, @absar — this was a genuine bug. On Android 16+ a foreground-service permission can be revoked or denied at runtime even when it is declared in the manifest, and the old guard read the runtime grant state, so it false-positived and threw on valid expedited work.

The fix (#733) now checks the merged manifest declaration instead, so declared permissions pass regardless of grant state while a genuinely missing declaration still fails loudly at registration.

Shipped in workmanager_android 0.10.7 / workmanager 0.10.8 — flutter pub upgrade will pick it up. GitHub release: https://github.com/fluttercommunity/flutter_workmanager/releases/tag/v0.10.8
