OK - Solved my own problem. 1st its a permission issue then a Wifi Issue (fix)
Ensure Permissions are all set as follows:
1. Go to setup - the Cogs symbol
2. Got Droid Settings
3. More Settings
4. Apps & Notifications ( Permissions)
5. Scroll down to App Permissions
6. Scroll down to Locations
7. Select the dots (top right hand corner) - and 8. and select show system
9. Ensure Google Play Services, Google Play Store & Sonos all have the slider to the right (green for permissions)
That fixes the permissions issue, then:
10. Go back to installing the Sonos App (re-install if need be) and then you get a different problem (seems common on Android 9 - Pie)
11. Then carry on installing - it then gets stuck in a loop - ready to install (2nd problem) - Very weird and frustrating
12. Then go back to main menu - select WiFi on (even on Ethernet) - Obviously put in your correct wireless key password
13. Go back to installing Sonos and it should complete (weird) - It seems its needs to be wireless to find the speakers (never had to be this before maybe a quirk of Sonos 10.5)
14. Turn off wireless if on Ethernet (or toggle WiFi Off/On - if on wireless)
15. All fixed - QED (dont ask me why but it worked for me and a friend who has one of the newer cheaper Droix boxes (but he didn't have the permissions issue just Sonos stuck in a loop when installing)
16. Thanks to all those that viewed
17. Note Sonos 10.5 now wont work on earlier versions of Android (needs Version 7 or later) - Thanks Sonos (not)
