Install attached app on Android 12 or below
perform command via ADB: adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.systemlogs android.permission.READ_LOGS
perform command via ADB: adb shell am force-stop com.joaomgcd.systemlogs
open the app
verify that all system logs are visible in the app
perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 on an Android 13 device
verify that only the app's own logs are visible

This is a regression from Android 12 because previously all logs would be visible

* Issue Category e.g. Framework (platform), NDK (platform), Hardware (CPU, GPU, Sensor, Camera), ART (platform), Runtime Permissions, etc

Framework

* What was the expected result?

Logs from all apps should be visible.

* Can you provide the API document where this expected behavior is explained?

The permission was always of type signature|privileged|development, which allowed it to be granted via ADB as shown here. This has now changed with no warning and was not mentioned in the changelog.

* What was the actual result?

Only logs from the running app were visible instead of all system logs.
