I am working on a launcher on android 14 and would like to display the users background in my app.

Lawnchair gets the wallpaper using

        WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(getContext());
        Drawable wallpaperDrawable = wallpaperManager.getDrawable();

I tried implementing this in my own method channel but it causes the app to crash due to permissions.

Afaik this needs any of

android.permission.READ_WALLPAPER_INTERNAL", Manifest.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I tried adding

MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

to my manifest file but then got another crash with "E/AndroidRuntime(20993): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE denied for package com.noaisu.classiclauncher"

which i dont even think is needed to access the wallpaper?? This is all confusing and I cant find any clear info about it online.

Also preferably I dont want to use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE if possible as google may not let me publish the app
