I'm trying read text message from Android RCS Message Apps (Google / Samsung) What I was trying

set permission concerned with rcs
- com.samsung.rcs.im.READ_PERMISSION (samsung galaxy series)
- com.gsma.rcs.permission.RCS (google)

But, I got this exception.

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: opening provider com.sec.internal.tapi.service.provider.HistoryLogProvider from ProcessRecord{e7c133 3845:com.gilapps.rcstest/u0a240} (pid=3845, uid=10240) requires com.gsma.services.permission.RCS or com.sec.imsservice.WRITE_IMS_PERMISSION

I'm guessing that maybe permission with RCS is still signature level permission. Am I Right?
