Question on permissions #12

Closed IzzySoft closed 8 months ago

IzzySoft commented 8 months ago

My updater got a few more checks in January, and on today's release of your app reported:

! repo/com.dingleinc.texttoolspro_200020.apk declares intent-filter(s): android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService
! repo/com.dingleinc.texttoolspro_200020.apk declares sensitive permission(s): android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

While the first is clearly outlined in the app description, I could not find a hint to what the storage permissions are needed. Are there any export/import features? Thanks in advance for clarification!

lochidev commented 8 months ago

Yes the app has import/export functions. android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE I think, is not needed after android 10 or so, it's there for android versions < 10

Thanks, export/import explains it for at least up to Android 9 (quite a mess with storage permissions between 5 and 9). Not needed on later versions unless you want to access "special locations" like media or downloads, right. And if it were that, you'd most likely also declared MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to get access to e.g. downloads on 13+ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

All fine then now, thanks!
