The problem

Steps to reproduce

Install an oreo last test builds

What is the current behavior?

The eSMS Sync app crashes at first boot.

In addition (and maybe it's a different problem), when we open Message app, it asks to become the default SMS/MMS app. What is strange is that the permissions are granted to the app.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Message is the default SMS/MMS app, and eSMS Sync doesn't crash at first boot.
