How to fix "Google Service Framework lacks android.permission.MANAGE_USERS" problem

Hi,

I am trying to install Google Service Framework and Google Apps on Mate 30 Pro following instructions in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...o-install-google-t3979091/page21#post80789091

And I failed to login the Google Play Store after following the steps that other users have had proved working. I traced the log and found it might be due to this error:

AndroidRuntime: Process: com.google.process.gapps, PID: 13709
AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProv ider: java.lang.SecurityException: You need MANAGE_USERS permission to: get the profile parent
AndroidRuntime: at com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProv ider.onCreate(GoogleSettingsProvider.java:158)

It seems Google Service Framework(gsf) needs this permission: MANAGE_USERS.

I have tried

adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gsf  android.permission.MANAGE_USERS

to enable this permission for it, but it failed:

Security exception: Permission android.permission.MANAGE_USERS requested by com.google.android.gsf is not a changeable permission type

Any help or suggestion? Thanks.
