Why the actual fuck would you need all these permissions???
FOR A FUCKING REMOTE!?!???

Seriously...

how do people hate iOS and love Android when you guys have to deal with over permissive and intrusive apps all the time??

@ThatDude so I need an app to handle app permissions on a phone 🤔 seems a bit much, something a decent app review should be taking care off.

I never understood the need beyond data mining for apps to need to know my life story when it’s a simple utility app.

I saw all that but ended up trading my privacy for the laziness. Now I just need to move my wrist to manage my aircon. 😳

Looks like xamarin and they just clicked all permission buttons

To think they took the pain of finding all of the permission tag values for the manifest file.
Only to be denied permission after downloading, cause we are Android 7.0 now. Oh no, how to steal data now? I know, we will just say the app can't work unless I am able to read SMS :/ The more depressing part is people may actually believe it/don't care for it and then they win.

This just reiterates the necessity of a compulsory IT education at a minimal level just like physical education or something.

PS:I think even in marshmallow all the permissions are set to deny, and the app has to manually ask for the permission at least once before it actually gets a yes.

@C0D4 hm. I don't know man. I am not sure if this doesn't happen in an iphone or not, but I think it's fair to say it's easy to avoid it in Android. I think there are multiple warning signs and alarm bells which ring whenever any such app is being installed. In the last two versions, I believe even after installing, the app doesn't actually have access to anything till it manually gives a popup in app requesting for permission, so the user can kind of guess there's no reason for SMS requirement when all you want is to press a button for the tv remote.
Now you may complain even that shouldn't be allowed, in which case I don't know what to say

@C0D4 It depends. Some time ago only some phones could restrict permissions, but nowadays every Android can block or allow permissions.
(Fun fact: You can block Storage permission on Snapchat and take SS without the other person knowing 😈)

@Vladelos ++ for lifehack. Although it's not really useful for me since I don't use Snapchat🙈

Just leaving this here.
LineageOS 14.1.

Also yes, the app still works.

@filthyranter Dammit take all of my ++!

@filthyranter you are leaving things everywhere 🤣

So they can remote-ly access all your data? 😂😂😂😇

@sladuled They could, but aren't. It's just a lazy/naive developer.

It's the equivalent of people just copy pasting a large import/use block to the top of every class/module they make, so they "don't have to worry about things not working"

@bittersweet or it's a plot?
But yeah, I'd proably do the same with my first try..

Because fuck you, that's why.

I thought droid was switching to permissions on demand like iOS anyway?

It's been a while since I blew the dust off of the old droid.

Hey @ThatDude @Alice stop scaring @irene 🤣🤣🤣

@irene The cake is a lie!

Lol. It's an old reference now.
