Why do you need access to the phone's id, phone number, and files?
- aswinmohanme 8y agoNot me, Ask AdMob Native Wrapper
- scarface74 8y agoI replied earlier that you should have ads because you should monetize, but that's not a good answer. If you are forced to use a binary blob that needs those permissions, it's not a good choice. But then again, Androids permission is system is still crap...
- TheForumTroll 8y agoYes, it is far from perfect but unless you go for a Purism phone there isn't anything better. On Android you can at least get very close to some privacy unlike in iOS.
- scarface74 8y agoReally? iOS's permission system is a lot better thought out when it comes to privacy. Third party keyboards don't by default have any network permission and the keyboard automatically changes to the default keyboard for passwords. The content blocking framework doesn't allow the content blocking app to know your web browsing habits. You don't need phone access to stop audio from playing within your app like you do on Android. Google's next generation messaging app doesn't even have end to end encryption.
- marak830 8y agoSorry, I wouldn't mind a an app, but not with those sort of permissions.
- craftyguy 8y agoI'm sorry, but that's not the right response. YOU chose to incorporate this ad library into your app, so YOU have a responsibility to understand how exactly it will be using permissions it 'requires' on your users' devices, and what it will be doing with them. Anything this library might do that is malicious is ultimately your fault, since you put it in your program without understanding what it is capable of doing.
- Too 8y agoAre you sure that's a valid response if the GDPR police asks you?
