How to enable Android-14 'Accessibility' Restricted Setting?

Question

In Android 14, we utilized the 'Accessibility' service API in our application. However, this option is not available by default. After clicking "OK" on the 'Restricted Setting' dialog, we enable the necessary permissions.

The issue arises when we update the application using a side-loaded APK. Upon updating, the 'Accessibility' service API option becomes disabled, and we are required to grant the permission once more.

Is this feature introduced in Android 14, or is there any workaround to ensure that the permission remains enabled every time we update the application?

Answer 1

Go to Settings -> Apps -> All Apps. Click on the app for which you are getting Restricted msg or for which you want to give the accessibility access. After clicking on the app Click on the three dots at top right corner. Now Click on Allow Restricted Settings. Now you can give accessibility access to your app.
