Which doesn't really help the users stuck on Android versions that never get any update or bugfixes. In which case apps have to take the pragmatic route and just work around the issue. Even if that requires a scary permission.
No user would point to Google and say »VLC doesn't pause when the phone rings, fix the ringer, please.«. Rather they point to VLC and say »VLC doesn't pause when the phone rings, fix VLC please.«
- tripzilch 12y agoWould be nice if you could request "you're using an older version of Android so we need more scary permissions".
- krschultz 12y agoYou can. Split your APK based on SDK version. Have different manifests with different permissions & code for the respective versions. The new Gradle toolchain makes all of that easy to do, but it is tough to maintain lots of version specific code long term.
