A customer just asked why my app required certain permissions...

Do people really read permissions before downloading an app?

    You are a dev ffs. You are the one who should tell people to read the permissions ...
    You know... You dont want pornhub app to use your camera and location.

    Oh yes, let's give [random app] access to contacts, camera, microphone, phone, my soul and all location data! What could go wrong?

    I believe you either know about the particular app you want to download or read the description of random apps before downloading them

    @devJoe Descriptions can be misleading, apps that require permissions they shouldn't have tend to be either poorly written (common) or malicious (a bit less common)

    I check the permissions of every app I install or update. The information is there, security is important, and it's foolish to ignore it and hope for the best.

    Are u dumb?! Read the permissions. Don't be the person who devs complain about having shit code. I DON'T WANT ALL THOSE SHIT DEVS TO COME HERE! Get better and return here after, or learn from here. Let's keep stupidy outside.

    Yes I do. So that I can make sure to disable certain things through App Ops on android (like, stay the fuck away from my location data!)
