Log export from the Android KDE Connect app
SUMMARY
An update to the Android app seems to have broken the permissions for
controlling the media player. As a result the media control on Android no
longer works (to clarify: controlling PC media from the Android phone works,
controlling Android phone media from the PC does not).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable every available permission for KDE Connect in the Android settings.
2. Pair and connect PC and phone.
3. Play any media on the phone (tried VLC, YouTube, Omnia, NewPipe)
OBSERVED RESULT
No media player is visible in the system tray, the media buttons on the
keyboard have no effect.
EXPECTED RESULT
Media player shows up in the system tray, and the media buttons on the keyboard
work (like it did before).

This repeats 4 more times in the log file. It appears to very clearly
complaining about permissions. I've tried enabling every permission for the app
I could find, but nothing worked. It worked perfectly earlier (it broke a
couple weeks ago), making me think that it must have been a recent update.
