Error during Nougat build

Hi

I am trying to build AOSP Nougat based on instructions at 

http://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/aosp-build-instructions/how-to-build-aosp-nougat-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/

Using following URL for repo. Note it is r24.

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-7.0.0_r24

 WHile building, I get an error as follows.

1 warning generated.

=========================================================

To fix this, edit untrusted_app.te file in following folder and commnet both the lines.
device/sony/sepolicy$vi untructed_app.te


#allow untrusted_app vfat:dir rw_dir_perms;
#allow untrusted_app vfat:file create;

Please let me know if this is the right way to fix the error? Or is there any other workaround?

Further I want to change init.rc to start a service.

e.g.

service test  /system/bin/test_init.sh
class core
 oneshot

When I flash modifies image to phone, I do not see service test started. Instead I see following message in dmesg.

init: Service test does not have a SELinux domain defined.

We have ported same code to Android M by integrating it in Sony AOSP. And we have seen service test started successfully.

What is changed in Android N and what change do we need to do in order for our service to start in Android N phone?

Thanks in advance.

In case you're still having the first problem: I had the same issue and reported it as https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-sepolicy/issues/142. alviteri did something that fixed it immediately, and I've been building r27 successfully since then.
