A simple example of the best practice described here is to display a checkbox that says "Allow us to use your camera". Then if the user toggles the checkbox the app immediately presents the system permission prompt.
When you see it in action it feels really natural and less jarring to the user.
I've noticed this in a few apps so it seems like it's becoming a design trend, and a good trick to learn from for those that make apps.
- tracker1 12y agoI'd much rather see this as an on-demand permission request... when I see permissions that make no sense for what I think an app is, I tend not to install said app.. right off the bat. I don't know if Android offers similar on-demand permissions, but it would be a much nicer experience.

Unfortunately this leads to developers pre-emptively asking for permissions they might need in the futiure at install time, in case the request for more permissions in a future update causes the user not to update.
