QtAndroid::requestPermissions() in Qt6

[Dmitry.Sokolov]

QtAndroid::requestPermissions()

Looks like it's not available in Qt6, so, how to request permissions?

[VRonin]

It's coming in Qt 6.2 QCoreApplication::requestPermission (https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/qcoreapplication.html#requestPermission)

Is there something new here?
Qt 6.2.1 does not have QCoreApplication::requestPermission.

This link doesn't show any info for requestPermission()
https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/qcoreapplication.html#requestPermission
Has it been removed? :/

I'm wondering if it's going to be a blocker for me with Qt6 and Android right now, or if there's a workaround to implement until the API appears in ... 6.4?

@danryu
I think you are supposed to refer to https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtandroidprivate.html#requestPermission ?
And maybe read https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtandroidprivate.html#requestPermission https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-90498

Thanks @JonB - I also just discovered the notes at https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-extras-modules-in-qt-6.

Using Qt 6.3.0, I've enabled the private headers ( QT += core-private ) and with a slight re-write, the permission checks and requests seem to be working fine.
