Bug Unity doesnt save not to remove INTERNET from manifest

Hi I have:
Unity 2022.3.6
OpenXr 1.8.2

I have enabled the open xr and all that stuff. BUT, my app needs the INTERNET permisson to be set in the manifest and I found out that you need to uncheck a stupid checkmark in


However, when I build the app, Unity removes the INTERNET permission anyway!
And when I try and restart unity, the checkmark becomes checked again!

Also, even if I uncheck that and the builds, almost every time, unity removes the INTERNET permission anyway!

I tried with using custom manifest but unity still removes the permission!

Its like this isnt saved correctly or what is happening?

I also tried to create a brand new project (the screenshot is from that and the warning is removed later) and just added the openXr, and network code, but unity still checks that field everytime I start unity and it removes the INTERNET permission when I build.

 

Ok, after some testing and checking the settings file. Unity does the check mark as false when I close the project. BUT, when unity opens again, the check is set to true but the settings file still says false. So as soon as I hit save, the setting is rewritten and the check is again set to true.

So the issue here seem to be that unity does not load that check mark from the settings file and instead just sets is as true.

 

Can we have this "bool" disabled as standard? Im not able to turn it off with Editor script since there's no code path to it.
We currently have a Editor script setting up new projects from different packages and this "bool" cannot be touched with editor script. Thanks!

 

@aquadragon3d is this fixed yet? The internet permission is getting removed by unity builds for XR in latest LTS and its really irritating as it prevents apps from working. This has been mentioned by many users in the last 2 weeks, why is this still an issue? Please can somebody respond with what is going on regarding it?

 

It was said that this will be fixed in the next release, I imagine possibly a LTS version . Be patient.
It's always best to wait for a LTS version of Unity for stability etc etc.. before "upgrading."

 

We are on the LTS, this issue is present in the last 7 LTS versions

 

This is the LTS I am on, this is the 7th release of the LTS for this version....

 

You guys need to fix this by allowing us to disable auto permissions and specify them manually like we used to in older Unity 3.5 versions if I remember correctly.

 

it resets to block network everytime you restart project. Really annoying

 

This is still broken in the latest LTS 2022.3.11 and Open XR Plugin 1.8.2

 

This https://forum.unity.com/members/aquadragon3d.8134828/ is from over a year ago. @aquadragon3d what's going on?

 

Sorry, misread the join date as the post date. But still. We are several LTS releases beyond 3.6 - strangely I did not have this issue in 3.9, but it started in 3.10 - it seems the checkbox is ignored in 3.9. In 3.9 I had it checked because I didn't know about it's existence and android manifest was including the internet permission. But in 3.10 it started to produce android manifest differently. I started getting a conflict around my supportedDevices line in my custom manifest file. So something changed about manifest generation. Is possible it has something to do with the Oculus XR Plugin? It went from 4.0.0 to 4.1.1.
