Let getPackagesForUid return calling uid

[hughperkins]

To reproduce:

• install taobao 4.6.0, eg from http://gdown.baidu.com/data/wisegame/d9004ba4d2b7d6a4/shoujitaobao_102.apk
• block permission 'getPackagesForUid'
  • -> expect: taobao works ok
  • -> what really happens: 'the application has stopped'
• unblock permission 'getPackagesForUid'
• start taobao
  • -> taobao starts ok

logcat log sent by email.

I suppose I'm imagining that the application is expecting to at least see itself in the list of packages returned? And maybe it's simply receiving null, or having the function call refused entirely?

getPackagesForUid is marked dangerous, so it is to be expected things like this can happen.
Nevertheless I will allow an application to see its own uid.

The reason for the crash in the logcat is:

E/JavaBinder( 3954): !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!

There is no indication this is caused by XPrivacy, but I can't rule it out either.

You can try beta version 2.99.x, because the binder restrictions have been removed, since they are not needed anymore. See the changelog for getting 2.99.x versions.

The own uid is allowed for getPackagesForUid and queryContentProviders in the just released beta version 2.99.15
