Apps compiled in different IDE /Java/ works.

It doesn't matter how you compile the app. There is exactly one way to make an app start at boot.

I've deleted the read-only manifest file, added #StartAtBoot: true to the service and ran your app.

It started after a restart automatically. Tested on Android 6.

Yes I know it works on android 6. Problem is with android 5. Sorry for this read-only manifest. It remained after AndroidManifest.xml modification tests.

I have tested app in the way you do - with #StartAtBoot: true in service and read-only prosperity switched off - so B4A can use it's own AndroidManifest.xml.
Of course everything seems ok inside (permission, service ,receiver) but unfortunately in not start after reboot. Several other apps /e.g.. PixelPhonePro/ starts flawlessly and their processes appear as working after phone restart.

did you swipe the app from the taskmanager (kill the app manually)?

I am sorry to say this again but it might be helpful .
My device has a Startup Manager that block apps from starting at boot unless I choose to allow them .

I did not kill the app. There is no Startup Manager in device. All other apps /mentioned above/ starts without any additional configuration - just after install & first manual run.

How do you see that it doesn't start? Maybe your device prevents the toast message from showing.

StartAtBoot works on Android 5 as well. Try to start a notification or write the time to a service.

Normal that the StartAtBoot attribute had been commented in the test.zip project attached ?
