> I can't help but think that app developers will respond by refusing access to the app unless the user grants the permission. Both android and ios need to be able to "silently deny" permissions. iOS doesn't need this because Apple rejects apps that demand access unnecessarily. > Apps must respect the user’s permission settings and not attempt to manipulate, trick, or force people to consent to unnecessary data access. For example, apps that include the ability to post photos to a social network must not also require microphone access before allowing the user to upload photos. Where possible, provide alternative solutions for users who don’t grant consent. For example, if a user declines to share Location, offer the ability to manually enter an address. — https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#privacy https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#pri...
