The issue seems to be resolved by heading over to Developer Options on MIUI, and enabling the following: USB debugging -Debug mode when USB is connected Install via USB -Allow installing apps via USB USB debugging (Security Settings)- Allow granting permissions and simulating input via USB debugging
The first was already enabled, and I installed the apk file manually so I didn’t need the second option.
I’m guessing the issue can be pinned down to the last option, which allows granting the necessary permissions. @CoderBuck please confirm.
Thank you @rom1v for this amazing app. This is a worthy free replacement for ReverseTethering NoRoot.
I had the same problem on OnePlus 8t, and the solution was to go to the Developer Settings on the phone and enable: Developer Options > Apps > Disable permission monitoring
On my OnePlus Nord 2T 5G (Android 12, OxygenOS 12.1), I also had to tick
Developer options > Disable permission monitoringalong with USB Debugging to get past a similar exception.P.S.: apologies for reviving this old issue.
Great, thank you 👍 So I close the issue.

Please test enabling “security settings” in developer options: https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/13802#issuecomment-587802222
@yashrajtalan Your procedure requires MI account in Xiaomi Redmi phones. You just remove
android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGSin manifest file (mentioned in #40).
