QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES? #18

Closed IzzySoft closed 1 week ago

The scanner here just reported on your latest APK:

! repo/com.rk.xededitor_20.apk declares sensitive permission(s): android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES

Could you please clarify what this permission is needed for? The app description gave me no clue. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for reaching out. The android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission is required for the upcoming plugin system. This permission allows Xed-Editor to find specific apps (plugins) that has "xedpluginApi" in their manifest metadata,

Thanks a lot! Added to your app's "green list" then:

Though it might/would be better to declare permissions only when they are really used :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
