AccountManager does not add custom account in Android N preview

Question

I have implemented a sync adapter in my app which requires an account to be added in the device account settings. I followed the same approach given in the Android docs. It work

Answer 1

I have totally the same issue. I could fix it by manually going to the application settings and enabling Сontacts permission. I don't know how, but after that I was able to use addAccountExplicitly() method without issues. I even disabled that permission again and cleared app data but it still was working properly...

After app was reinstalled - problem appeared again.
