Realm-java: io.realm.exceptions.RealmError: Unrecoverable error. Permission denied on Huawei P20 with Android 9
The app crashes on Huawei P20 with Android 9. That phone got the 9 update only 3 days ago, so it might be related to that. Sadly, we don't have that phone ourselves, so the issue is reported by a client using the production app and we found the relevant crash reports on Google Play Console:
Fatal Exception: io.realm.exceptions.RealmError: Unrecoverable error. Permission denied in /Users/Nabil/Dev/realm/master/realm-java/realm/realm-library/src/main/cpp/io_realm_internal_OsSharedRealm.cpp line 101

Steps & Code to Reproduce
As seen in the stack trace, our MainActivity calls super.onCreate which refers to LocalizedActivity and calls RealmDatabase.getInstance (singleton service) which calls Realm.getDefaultInstance there. Apparently, that throws an error, but that one is caught:
try {
Realm.getDefaultInstance() //
} catch (e: Exception) {
// Note that DynamicRealm will no try to run the migration, that's why we use it
DynamicRealm.getInstance(buildConfig()).close() // <- this is the exception in the stack, but we got here only because the try block threw.
Realm.deleteRealm(buildConfig())
Realm.getDefaultInstance()
}
It keeps happening on every app start. It happens immediately and is reproducible every time, according to the client (and we do see multiple crash stack traces from the same phone).
RealmConfiguration is not specifying directory, so the default location is used.
Version of Realm and tooling
Realm version(s): 5.0.1 -- I know this is not the latest version, but this is the version that was in our app version that got the crash. As we don't have the phone ourselves, we can't possibly test and verify the crash is specific to that version only.
Realm Sync feature enabled: No
Which Android version and device(s): Huawei P20 (HWEML), Android 9

It does look like a duplicate of https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/5715 so I'll close this one and you can follow that. We will look into this again.

@bmunkholm Well, the difference between the tickets is in both hardware (here brand new and popular high-end P20, there - much older and budget P8) and software (here the latest Android 9, there - legacy Android 6 that鈥檚 not that widely used anymore). But you know better how to manage the tickets, just saying.

Yeah, Android 9 is pretty new, and Huawei P20 is not cheap

Same error here, Android 9 and Huawei, consistently crashes:
Caused by io.realm.exceptions.RealmError
Unrecoverable error. Permission denied in /home/cc/repo/realm/release/realm/realm-library/src/main/cpp/io_realm_internal_SharedRealm.cpp line 91
Is the error recoverable at all? Can they restart the app and hope it works? Do they need to "Clear user data/uninstall" app? Or does it crash all the time. I don't have access to a device to test this out.
