app_reset_permissions

This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET

Put permissions back to asking, so the app prompts again on next use. Name an app to reset only that app's — on Android every runtime permission it declares is revoked and the person's answers cleared, including the "don't ask again" that two denials leave, and each is read back; one the system or a device policy fixed is kept and named. Revoking a granted permission on Android stops the app, as it does from Settings. Omit the app to reset every app on the device.

Changes the device, the app or the session: readOnlyHint is false.

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	What it is
app	string		Package name on Android or bundle id on iOS, to reset only that app. Omit to reset every app.
device	string		Device serial to target, e.g. "emulator-5554". Omit when only one device is running.
driver	string: uiautomator2, uiautomator, wda		Driver to use: "uiautomator2" (default for Android; fast, installs a server APK on first use), "uiautomator" (Android, installs nothing, slower, cannot type), or "wda" (WebDriverAgent: iOS simulators and iPhones).
