无法解析具有 "downloads" 权限的内容提供者时 PackageInstaller 崩溃

Question

关于一些背景知识，我正在用 Xamarin 为企业编写一个 Android 应用程序，它应该能够自行更新，而不是通过 Play 商店。特别是有一台设备无法自行更新，我不明白为什么。

更新代码如下所示：

            try
            {
                var intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionInstallPackage);
                intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
                var file = new Java.IO.File(Android.OS.Environment.ExternalStorageDirectory.Path + "/com.mycompany.appname.apk");
                var uri = FileProvider.GetUriForFile(this, "com.mycompany.appname.update_file_provider", file);
                GrantUriPermission("com.google.android.packageinstaller", uri, ActivityFlags.GrantReadUriPermission);
                intent.SetDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
                var pendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);
                var notification = GetNotificationBuilder(installedVersion, latestVersion, this)
                    .SetContentText("Download complete.")
                    .AddAction(new NotificationCompat.Action(Resource.Drawable.ic_note_add_black_24dp, "Install", pendingIntent))
                    .SetAutoCancel(true)
                    .Build();
                NotificationManagerCompat.From(this).Notify(NotificationId, notification);
                StopSelf();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                var notification = GetNotificationBuilder(installedVersion, latestVersion, this)
                    .SetContentText("Failed to install update: " + e.Message)
                    .SetAutoCancel(true)
                    .Build();
                NotificationManagerCompat.From(this).Notify(NotificationId, notification);
                StopSelf();
                return;
            }

当它运行时，我收到一条消息说，"PackageInstaller has stopped." 堆栈跟踪显示这是由于软件包安装程序应用程序中的 NPE 造成的：

郑重声明：此特定设备是运行 Android 8.1。我已经在其他设备运行 Android 8.0、Android 10 和 Android 7 上测试过，没有任何问题，但我没有任何其他设备具有完全相同的功能Android 用于测试的版本。

编辑我意识到我应该对标题做更多的解释。我实际上已经查看了 source code for the PackageInstaller app，在该堆栈跟踪出现的位置附近，看来这一行是此 NPE 的原因：

final String downloadProviderPackage = getPackageManager().resolveContentProvider(
                DOWNLOADS_AUTHORITY, 0).getComponentName().getPackageName();

DOWNLOADS_AUTHORITY 是一个值为 "downloads" 的常量字符串，对 resolveContentProvider() 的调用返回空值。不清楚的是为什么这个特定设备会出现这种情况，而其他设备不会出现这种情况，或者如何修复它。

问题原来是下载管理器被禁用了。它似乎仅在 android 8.0 和 8.1 中是一个问题。我仍然不确定它是如何开始被禁用的，但我的解决方案是使用 blackapps 推荐的 null 检查，并包含一个提示，让用户在检测到这种情况时重新启用它。
