We aren't sure why exactly Samsung has decided to revoke the required permissions, but some readers believe it has something to do with the handset's NFC chip not playing nicely with Libre's FreeStyle glucose sensors. That doesn't, however, explain why it still works on the Galaxy Note 8.
You can't even sideload the APK. Trust us, we tried. Multiple times. Attempting to do so results in alert appearing, which instructs you to install the application from the Play Store, but seeing as it's no longer compatible with the Galaxy S8, you can't—so you get stuck in a vicious loop.
Hopefully compatibility is reinstated soon.
