If your Shelter setup process hangs on the "Please wait..." dialog, please make sure your device is NOT on Do-Not-Disturb mode, because you need to click on a notification to finish the setup process. If it still doesn't work after disabling Do-Not-Disturb, it probably means that there is an issue with your system, and it probably has nothing to do with Shelter itself.

EDIT: Since Shelter 1.7, the setup wizard should make it clear enough that you need to look for a notification. However, Shelter 1.7 and newer is not available from Play Store anymore. Please consider switching to either the official F-Droid version or the version on my personal F-Droid repo as linked in README.

The final step out of the setup process is to click the notification in the shade but on Android 13 (final on Pixel 6), it does not appear. Even manually adding the notification permission to Shelter before setup she's not fix the issue. As a result, The Work profile is partially setup and must be deleted from the Android Password & Accounts screen.

Phone is stock OS OnePlus 7T Pro. I go to Main to select any App to Clone, message to Clone pops up and I select Clone to Shelter, but none appear in Shelter list. ( FYI: I terminated Shelter to install Island and Island works.)

I was recently updating to Shelter v1.4 from 1.3 on my Samsung S9. The unfreeze shortcuts suddenly stopped working. When I tried to access the App, it closed immediately and greeted me with a toast message saying:

The work profile is still active. I disabled and reenabled it, tried again, reinstalled Shelter, tried again... always getting the message above.

Thanks in advance. If you need further info, just ask :)

Am I missing an app?

Trying to clone youtube app to the work profile I get back the following

I Finsky  : [221] aboj.c(10): Package com.google.android.youtube blocked since it is missing required splits.

The device is a lineageos 17.1 (android 10), with shelter 1.5 from f-droid. The work profile is not associated with some gmail user and has been just created (and recreated a couple of times for ruling out some state messing with it). Other applications get cloned successfully however.

Hi @PeterCxy,

I just stumbled upon your app. Unfotunately It says "You have to grant Device Admin permissen for Shelter to work. Please try again." after I press "Activate this device admin app".

If I check manually, the list "device admin apps" is empty, so unfortunately I cannot add Shelter. My setting is as follows: AOSP 9.0 Pie (r34).

Is this problem related to my setting (Android 9.0)?

Best, da-h

I cloned Whatsapp to shelter but could access gallery which is outside the shelter. Is it because Whatsapp is using some non standard ways of accessing?

In any case, I think it would be nice to have a log to see what has been requested by an app and whether it's accepted or denied. This would indirectly serve as proof that it works ( XprivacyLua does that in Pro version)

How does the fake camera feature work? I have apps that I want to present a default image rather than my video from the camera. The option within shelter seems ideal but apps can still see my video. Do I somehow have to enable it per app?

1: Why do the User need to Tap on the Notification to complete the process of Setting up Work_Profile in Shelter while it is not need in a Closed Source Application named 'Island'. Island: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island&hl=en

2: Please Add Support for Android 10, including Full Compatibility and the Theme/Overlay & Accent System. 3: UI of Shelter seems very Ugly compared to Island Application. My Apology, if my Writing hurt anyone.

Shelter version: 1.5 Magisk: Upgrade from 20.3 to 20.4 ROM: LineageOS 16

After my upgrading Magisk from 20.3 to 20.4, Shelter doesn't recognize the Work Profile created by itself, and asks to create a new one.

If would be great if there would be a function to unfreeze all frozen apps, because they need to be unfrozen in order to be updated (e.g. via Aurora Store). Currently I have to do it one by one.

With buildToolsVersion '33.0.0' Windows can not build because Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAidl'. Fixed with version buildToolsVersion '33.0.1'

I have 15+ apps installed inside the Shelter work profile, including Google Play services (com.google.android.gms) and Google Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf) that were installed using the GrapheneOS app installer. All of the apps are set-up inside Shelter to auto-freeze when the screen of the phone is turned off. That works for every app besides the two mentioned above. I also created a shortcut on my screen to freeze all apps that are set up to auto-freeze, and if I press that shortcut, all apps are getting frozen, even the two mentioned above. Why is that? Is this a bug? Is there any way to make those two apps autofreeze as well?

I had installed shelter and it worked perfectly but when I had uninstalled, and successfully uninstalled but showing the service is running but could not delete the workspace. Then I again installed the app but showing can't set up device (toast : Permission is denied or unsupported device). Please help me to solve the problem.

I have a small problem. I had a version from the Google Play Store, then I saw that there was a newer version on fdroid and I wanted to install it. I couldn't, so I uninstalled it manually and tried to install the new one manually, which didn't work either.

Frustrated, I tried to download the Google Play version again, but it won't start because I already have a working profile.

Can I solve this problem without losing my work profile? I have already installed and configured a lot of things, so it would be a huge effort.

Or do I have to live with it and just not clone anything over? (Then just download via the playstore)
