To grant the PACKAGEUSAGESTATS permission via adb, follow these steps:

1. Connect your device to your computer via USB and enable USB debugging on the device.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer and navigate to the Android SDK platform-tools directory.

3. Enter the following command to check if the permission is already granted:

   adb shell dumpsys package domains | grep -i 'packageName='
   

   Replace "packageName" with the package name for which you want to check the permission.

4. If the permission is not granted, enter the following command to grant the permission:

   adb shell pm grant packageName android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
   

   Replace "packageName" with the name of the package for which you want to grant the permission.

5. Verify that the permission has been granted by entering the first command again. The package should now show as having the permission granted.
