How many normal humans could anticipate that saying "yes" then "no" was the only way to say "no"? Putting a preemptive "obey/ask me later" dialog before the system one is slimy, but not unexpected.
- duskwuff 12y agoNot sure what you mean by that. There's no benefit to explicitly denying the app permissions -- declining the app's pre-permissions dialog just means it never requests the permissions at all.
- mcherm 12y ago... but (perhaps, if poorly implemented) it may lead to the app constantly "nagging" you about granting permissions.
- ajanuary 12y agoDeclining the app's pre-permissions dialog means they can request it again. Accepting the app's dialog, then denying it at the OS level means that, at least with the library they link to in the post, the pre-permissions dialog won't pop up again.
- basch 12y agosure the preemptive dialog could pop up again, but instead it would say "go to settings to fix the problem"
