How to request capabilities at run time?
Android has shown that the approach of asking for a list of capabilities while installing does not work for user-facing applications. Apps will grab just as much as capabilities as possible and users will blindly accept the long list without reading.
- geocar 9y agoThe same way mach does it. You send a message to a process that dishes out capabilities and it responds with a handle/port/object that encodes those capabilities.
- bigato 9y agoIf the only options available are granting all requested permissions at once or not installing at all, they'll often blindly accept, yes.
