Android sdk 23 hardware permissions issues (java.lang.SecurityException)

Question

trying to make a simple APP to insert a phonebook entry. It seems that I have no problems with permissions, but the system will still not allow you to create a record:

07-28 18:11:44.799  2304 10616 I UpdateIcingCorporaServi: Updating corpora: APPS=com.example.aero.myapplication, CONTACTS=MAYBE
07-28 18:11:45.362  2304 10648 I UpdateIcingCorporaServi: Updating corpora: APPS=com.example.aero.myapplication.test, CONTACTS=MAYBE
07-28 18:11:45.651 10663 10678 I GrantPermissionCallable: Permission: android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS is already granted!
07-28 18:11:46.255 10663 10678 I OK      : contact Permission to record allowed
07-28 18:11:46.255 10663 10678 D Info    : Creating contact: 123456789
07-28 18:11:46.259  2097  2114 E DatabaseUtils: java.lang.SecurityException: Proxy package com.android.providers.contacts from uid 10001 or calling package com.example.aero.myapplication.test from uid 10097 not allowed to perform WRITE_CONTACTS
07-28 18:11:46.260 10663 10678 E Error   : Exception encountered while inserting contact: java.lang.SecurityException: Proxy package com.android.providers.contacts from uid 10001 or calling package com.example.aero.myapplication.test from uid 10097 not allowed to perform WRITE_CONTACTS

any ideas? why is this mysticism? after launching the application, install 2 apk:

$ adb push /Users/aero/AndroidStudioProjects/MyApplication/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk /data/local/tmp/com.example.aero.myapplication
$ adb shell pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.example.aero.myapplication"

and

$ adb push /Users/aero/AndroidStudioProjects/MyApplication/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug-androidTest.apk /data/local/tmp/com.example.aero.myapplication.test
$ adb shell pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/com.example.aero.myapplication.test"

and only com.example.aero.myapplication has permissions on the system, com.example.aero.myapplication.test does not have any permissions. I lost a little.

package com.example.aero.myapplication;

Inclusion in the same problem, but for a different resolution.

The fix for me was simple, I forgot to add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.THE_PERMISSION" />toAndroidManifest.xml

, , , <uses-permission.../> <uses-feature.../>.
