Gear - WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY permission is required.

I'm developing a host app for Gear.

Samsung Accessory SDK Programming Guide says :

---------------------

2.4.Permission

To use Accessory, it needs the permission below. If it is not added in the AndroidManifest.xml file, the initialization

will fail with SecurityException.

<uses-permission android:name="com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY" />

If you don’t add the permission,

- For Samsung device,

 Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) and above: SecurityException is thrown and your application won’t work.

 Prior to Android 4.4.2 (KitKat): No exception and the application will work properly.

- For other companies,

 No exception and the application will work properly.

---------------------

So, I put the required permissions as follows in the AndroidManifest.xml file. 

Most Galaxy device is OK, but some device model crash with Security Exception below.

java.lang.SecurityException:  com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY permission is required. 

Here's our issued device list below. 

SM-J500N (Android 5)

SM-J700K (Android 5)

SM-G800F (Android 5)

SM-G531F (Android 5)

Please let me know how to solve this issue relate with these specific device model.

Thank you in advance.
