VNC Input not working but still able to see whats on the screen

Seems the InputService has gone. Few questions:

• Can you get more logcat output from the OS as well, around the time of the crash?
• Can you try another remote desktop app like AnyDesk and see if they're affected as well?
• Would you be confident to try out some debug apk's I'd post here?

Here is a more complete log if it might be useful for you.

Would you be confident to try out some debug apk's I'd post here?

Sure, I can give it a try.

Looks like the InputService gets destroyed by the OS. Are you running any other a11y services?

[elvanowen]

There were only 2 services running:

# adb shell dumpsys accessibility
...
Bound services:{Service[label=droidVNC-NG, feedbackType[], capabilities=32, eventTypes=TYPE_WINDOWS_CHANGED, notificationTimeout=50, requestA11yBtn=false],
                     Service[label=Accessibility menu, feedbackType[FEEDBACK_GENERIC], capabilities=8, eventTypes=, notificationTimeout=0, requestA11yBtn=true]}
Enabled services:{{com.android.settings/com.android.settings.accessibility.accessibilitymenu.AccessibilityMenuService}, {net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng/net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng.InputService}}
...

I will try to turn off the accessibility menu and see if it fixes the issue.

Maybe one of the many things mentioned in bitwarden/mobile#596 might help?

Tentatively closing, please post here once there is new info available.
