Bug ID: 497718
Summary: KDE Connect blocks the government eID app from working
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 1.3.2
Platform: Android
OS: Android 14.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The app "Mobilní klíč eGovernmentu", which is used as an official login method
for government applications (both local and European Union's) is being blocked
from working by KDE Connect. When launched, the application warns about KDE
Connect reading the contents of the display, but lets you continue with just a
warning (in case the app was an a11y application) - however, the application
won't let you scan any QR codes, which is it's only way of authenticating with
government servers. I need to either disable or uninstall KDE Connect to be
able to use the app as intended, and then reinstall it back when I'm done,
which is obviously not ideal
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Connect
2. Launch Mobilní klíč
3. Accept the prompt about KDE Connect running on the device and try to scan a
QR code - nothing happens
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, the app seemingly ignores any camera input
EXPECTED RESULT
The app scans the QR authentication as expected
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OxygenOS 14.0 (Android 14)
