If this were true it would be an issue on iOS. Its not.
- FigBug 13y agoOn iOS, if an app crashes or doesn't function when permissions are denied, it won't get approved to be in the app store.
- vetinari 13y agoThe app does not have to crash. It can gracefully exit. Which, in the end, has the same result - if the user does not grant the permission, the app will refuse to work.
- wlesieutre 13y agoI admittedly don't download much of the App Store's free crapware, but I've never once seen this happen. Do you have an examples of apps that refuse to run when you don't allow a unnecessary permission?
- vetinari 13y agoSorry for late reply. For example, Any.do Cal will exit, if you do not grant access to addressbook. I do not download crapware either, but I don't have much trust into bizdevs trying to monetize anything. This is the first solution that I would expect.
