"If I say no, will my app work? Because I'm installing this app so I want it to work. I'll probably just say "yes" because why would it ask me if it didn't need it?"
- ryandrake 9y agoThis is ultimately the problem. The dialog could say "This will trash your computer, empty your bank account, and kill your dog. Do you want to continue? YES/NO" and users will click YES if that's the only way to install whatever software they want to work.
- spynxic 9y agoThis issue is hosted by developers making apps unavailable for installation lest agreeing to every requirement. Developers get away with this because, 1) individually selecting permissions is growing rare and 2) there's no pressure to explain why a permission is needed, nor specific contracts to agree upon on how the general permission may be utilized.
