Thanks for reporting.

It seems that protectionLevel of android.permission.CLEAR_APP_CACHE has changed to signature|privileged, so third party app cannot be granted with it in regular way. System cache clean method via freeStorageAndNotify won't work in new Android devices. Bad news!

[bhavikgandhi007]

have you solved that bug or any alternative for Cache Clean?

[mzlogin]

@bhavikgandhi007 I just catch that exception, and did not continue work on new solution for cache clean.

@mzlogin Well, Could you provide an example of how to clean cache without using CLEAR_APP_CACHE permission for ANDROID > 6.0?

Also you may should simple-warning update the README.md file for that bad news.
