Quest 2 screenshot in android apk made in Android studio

Hey,
I have an issue with taking screenshots in an app that I made in Android Studio,
I have tried several different permissions: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, CAMERA, CAPTURE_VIDEO_OUTPUT, MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL, READ_FRAME_BUFFER, I have also tried removing the FLAG_SECURE
but no matter what I try inside the Quest 2 headset I get the message "The developer has disabled taking photos in this app."
Disabled
Oculus Quest 2

    Yup, I also encounter the same problem. It is very obvious that in fear of ending up in some lawsuit on copyright content, Oculus has disabled screenshot and video capture in every unknown app and only allows it in a limited set of apps they defined. Actually, this is a very stupid decision because Oculus screenshot is just like a camera, if a customer uses a camera to broadcast copyrighted content, should law punish the customer or the camera manufacturer?? Therefore, Oculus should have no fear in such a lawsuit, they will surely win.
