Error installing <app> The privileged permissions have not been granted to the extension! Please create a bug report!

• Device OS and version: Android version 8.1.0
• Device model/manufacturer: Lenovo Moto G5 plus
• F-Droid version (in the About screen): 1.16.3
• F-Droid privileged extension version (if installed): 0.2.13
• Root via Magisk 26 + TWRP

What did you do? (clear steps if possible)

I have tried getting the privileged extension to work (to get auto-updates) but to no avail.

Things I have tried:

Download the Magisk module from GitHub - Magisk-Modules-Repo/Fdroid-Priv: Fdroid-Priv and install via Magisk app modules screen
Download the Magisk module from GitHub - daemonspudguy/Fdroid-Classic-Priv: Fdroid-Priv and install via Magisk app modules screen
Download the OTA from fdroid and install via TWRP F-Droid Privileged Extension OTA | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

I have disabled the modules via Magisk. In Fdroid I have an “app” that cannot be uninstalled or updated called “F-Droid Privileged Extension” (updated 15 months ago) version 0.2.13

What did you expect to see?

Apps should upgrade automatically with the "Privileged Extension" setting in the Fdroid App.

What did you see instead?

Apps fail to install mostly silently, but with a notification. If I go to an app individually and press upgrade, I get the following error:

Error installing <app>

The privileged permissions have not been granted to the extension! Please create a bug report!

I also don’t understand how a Magisk module is different from an OTA update, or why neither one worked. How can I get the privileged extension to work?
