Out of curiosity, does the Android Market actually list the permissions that a given app requires? The web store doesn't seem to list them.

- torme 15y agoIt does, when you install an app it lists out which parts of your phone the application can access (phone, internet, location, etc)
- code_duck 15y agoIt lists it based on an automatic scan of which APIs the software uses. However, it can't tell if there's dead code and the package doesn't actually use a certain permission, or if there's an additional permission process within the app, etc.
- dpcan 15y agoI don't think this is accurate. The permissions listed seem to pertain to the uses-permissions in the Manifest. If the Manifest doesn't request these permissions, and they aren't allowed, they won't work. If I don't put the Internet uses-permission in my Manifest, then any Internet calls I make won't work.
