Is there a way to enable screen recording for reprojected apps?

We are doing testing on porting an Android TV app to the Quest and running it in reprojected mode (leanback). When we load the APK to the device and start it there, screen recording and casting are disabled. Hovering the sharing options gives the message "The developer has disabled screen recording for this app", however, this is nothing we have done intentionally. It is as if the Android layout flag FLAG_SECURE is set, but it isn't. This seems to be the default behavior, as I've tried with other non-Quest Android apps with the same result. Any help here would be valuable.

    I have the same issue with my native openXR app entirely written in Android Studio. Have you managed to find a solution? My workaround is to remove the app from the applab and then it's posible to record. Since mine is now submitted to review I'm stuck with that permission. Probably change the name in the manifest so that the oculus thinks it's a new application.
