*Background:* I have customized an AOSP distribution and created a custom 
OTA updater service to integrate with it. But whenever I call the updater 
service, the following error message is generated:

E/SELinux: avc: denied { find } for service=android.os.UpdateEngineService 
pid=22801 uid=10024 scontext=u:r:platform_app:s0:c512,c768 
tcontext=u:object_r:update_engine_service:s0 tclass=service_manager 
permissive=0

*Diagnosis:* Based on the error message, our app is being built as a 
platform_app. As a result, we are not being allowed to access the path 
'/data/' on the system.

*Possible solution:* There might be two approaches towards the solution:

   1. Build the app as a system_app

OR,

   1. Build the app as a plaform_app and change SELinux config so that the 
   app is granted necessary access to '/data/' on the system.

*Main question:* Am I heading towards the right direction with the 
understanding and possible solutions stated here? If not, what am I missing 
and what should be done in order to fix this issue?
