Hello,
Fossify Calendar (and also Simple Calendar) do not activate the reminders on the right time, many hours to late or only if the calendar app will manually opened on Android 14 (might be also an issue on Android 13).
The issue appears even Fossify Calendar is excluded from Android energy saving and allowed all the time to run in the background.
As you can also see on the Google Play store reviews for Simple Calendar many users have the same issue with missing or "forgotten" reminders.
The cause seems the changed permissions rights in Android 13/14 to set exact timers as documented in Google Developer forum.
I have two different Samsung Galaxy smartphones with Android 14 (and One UI Version 6.0) with that issue.
Could you please check/fix that issue and test it with an Android 14 device?
Exact alarms are meant for user-intentioned notifications or actions that need to happen at a precise time.
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, the permission introduced in Android 12 for apps to schedule exact alarms, is no longer being pre-granted to most newly installed apps targeting Android 13 and higher (will be set to denied by default). If the user transfers app data to a device running Android 14 through a backup-and-restore operation, the permission will still be denied. If an existing app already has this permission, it'll be pre-granted when the device upgrades to Android 14.
The SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission is required to initiate exact alarms via the following APIs or a SecurityException will be thrown:
setExact()
setExactAndAllowWhileIdle()
setAlarmClock()
Existing best-practices for the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission still apply, including the following:
Check the permission with canScheduleExactAlarms() before scheduling exact alarms.
Set up your app to listen and properly react to the foreground broadcast AlarmManager.ACTION_SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM_PERMISSION_STATE_CHANGED, which the system sends when the user grants the permission.
Affected apps
If a device is running Android 14 or higher, this change will affect a newly installed app that has the following characteristics:
Targets Android 13 (API level 33) or higher.
Declares the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission in the manifest.
Doesn't fall under an exemption or pre-grant scenario.
Isn't a calendar or alarm clock app.
Calendar and alarm clock apps should declare USE_EXACT_ALARM
Calendar or alarm clock apps need to send calendar reminders, wake-up alarms, or alerts when the app is no longer running. These apps can request the USE_EXACT_ALARM normal permission. The USE_EXACT_ALARM permission will be granted on install, and apps holding this permission will be able to schedule exact alarms just like apps with the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission."
If anybody else also encounters this bug, please write your device model and OS version. I have Android 14 (OnePlus 9 Pro), and all reminders are working correctly. On Android 13 I also didn't have any problems with that.
