Permission REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES #119

Closed EcoFreak closed 3 years ago

EcoFreak commented 3 years ago

Hello, Why is this plugin adding REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES to the app's manifest file?

Thanks

darryncampbell commented 3 years ago

Hi, I had a use case to install an app by sending an intent so that required this permission. That is the only use case that needs it so feel free to fork and delete the permission request if this is giving your users concerns

EcoFreak commented 3 years ago

Oh ok, it's makes sense. Has anyone reported issues raised by Google when submitting apps?

Thanks @darryncampbell

darryncampbell commented 3 years ago

No, nobody has reported any issues but the play store requirements are always subject to update. Are you seeing issues raised?

EcoFreak commented 3 years ago

@darryncampbell We had a couple of issues using cordova-plugin-app-update and I was updating one of our apps and saw the permissions list and was curious. If I have any problems in the future I'll let you know

darryncampbell commented 3 years ago

Ok, thanks for making me aware, I'll also keep an eye out for play store policy changes
