Not possible to get through initial setup on a device controlled by "Google Family Link" about voice HOT 2 CLOSED

Hope I'm not jumping to conclusions here... The fact that the device is "Family link" enabled is the only difference to a relatively fresh set up phone. Therefore I'm thinking that this is the source of the issue.

I found the root cause: My wife blocked a number of apps that should not be available for the kid. Turns out you can block the "DocumentUI" which is used as a folder-picker during setup.

Reenabling it wasn't enough though, seems that at least on the Galaxy A51 I needed to activate a few more apps so the DocumentAI could load successfully.

I was able to find this when I tried a different audio book app that also couldn't load the folder picker, but showed an error message like "Please enable ...DocumentAI". That pointed in the right direction and I was able to solve it.

So to avoid future parents from running into this I suggest adding a good error message. As this is solved for me now I'll close the issue.
