The subprocess library was found to have no corresponding permissions when calling ifconfig and other commands in the Android environment
And in https://briefcase.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/configuration.html#permissions No corresponding option was found in the middle
Upgrade without permission to access a certain phone folder

>>> proc = subprocess.run(["ifconfig"], capture_output=True)
>>> proc.stdout
b''
>>> proc.stderr
b'ifconfig: No file /proc/net/dev: Permission denied\n'

There probably isn't any permission which will allow an app to run ifconfig. Android permissions usually only unlock Java APIs, not shell commands.

What are you actually trying to achieve here?

I am creating a mobile terminal that uses the subprocess library to call specified mobile terminal commands in a designated folder

Unfortunately Android apps aren't usually allowed to run administrative commands, even in a read only mode.
