  // if this study has not yet been deployed, do this first.
  if (status.index < StudyStatus.Deployed.index) {
    await tryDeployment();
    await configure();
  }

  // ask for permissions for all measures in this deployment
  if (SmartPhoneClientManager().askForPermissions) {
    await askForAllPermissions();
  }

  super.start();
  if (start) executor.start();
