And the other problem is you install an app all the time and the permissions aren't clearly laid out. I want:
1. tell me I install an app that wants "some list of permissions".
2. let me disable this permission for all apps installed now and in the future.
- izacus 8y agoAnything targeting API level 23 has all permissions denied by default (and targeting higher level is mandatory for all new apps right now).
- maxxxxx 8y agoI would also like to give permissions only for a limited time and see a log how the permissions are being used in detail.
- on_and_off 8y ago1) it is not really realistic in practice: - Permissions are requested incrementally at runtime. For large apps, a LOT of these permissions depend on corner cases BUT you still declare all the permissions you might ask for. So maybe I will declare that I might ask to see the content of your screen .. because there is an help menu where I take a video of your screen to send to support after asking you for the permission. Same for camera .. we might use Google Pay for most cases, but in one of the countries where we have the app, a local player has a very popular solution that scans your credit card. So we declare that we might need Camera because of this sdk. Etc. This is one of the reasons why the previous model where you asked the permissions at install time did not work very well in practice.
