Appop's permission changer

Describe your problem(s)

Android 16 NothingOS 4.0 Asteroids-B4.0-251229-2335

Hello, whenever I am trying to set a permission from ignored to allowed, it keeps defaulting back to ignored. This is a problem since the app needs all storage permissions to be enabled. Any help would be appreciated

Research direction
Investigate the permission persistence logic in the AppOps permission changer. Look at how the app handles setting permissions from 'ignored' to 'allowed' and why it reverts. Check the relevant code in the repository, likely in files related to AppOpsManager or permission handling. Also review any existing tests or comments for clues about the expected behavior.
