Well then that is a strange security lapse on Google's part. A spin-off company that had internal high-level access privileges, is spun off, and can still retains those high-level access privileges? That seems like a mistake somewhere.
- pritambaral 10y agoI don't think there are any internal privileges involved here. Why do you think so?
- ihsw 10y agoYou can make an app that does the same thing right now. What are you talking about? It's developer laziness.
- toufka 10y agoI don't know the android ecosystem well. Can any random app ask for and be granted full access without informing the user of that elevated access request?
- ihsw 10y agoThat is a feature of the Google sign-in system. The security policies for that sign-in system are not as granular as Android's security policies. Normally an app would request permissions at run-time or install-time.
