App is not starting in DeX with `BIND_INPUT_METHOD` permission

Samsung DeX
1

The FOSS apps KDE Connect and KeePassDX are not starting in DeX mode.
When I investigated into it, I found out, that the permission BIND_INPUT_METHOD is the reason for it.

What’s the way to handle this?

Also it seems that the folks at 1Password solved it but they didn’t mention how.

Hi alexanderadam,
Welcome to Samsung Developer Community.
3rd-party keyboard is not allowed in Samsung DeX, so following permission will block the app in DeX.

android:permission="android.permission.BIND_INPUT_METHOD"

Thank you,

Thank you for your response.

so is there no solution for this and Samsung DeX is intentionally breaking/blocking all apps with this permission?
