Some I kind of understand, but most of them, I don’t and before I go ahead and install your app, I would like you to clarify the needs for those access rights…Version 2.1.12.4 can access:Device & app history• retrieve running apps• WHY?Cellular data settings• change/intercept network settings and trafficWHY?• Identity• find accounts on the deviceWHY?Contacts• find accounts on the deviceWHY?Location• precise location (GPS and network-based)• approximate location (network-based)WHY?Photos/Media/Files• access USB storage filesystem• modify or delete the contents of your USB storage• read the contents of your USB storageOK… and WHY?Storage• modify or delete the contents of your USB storage• read the contents of your USB storageOK… and WHY?Camera• take pictures and videosWHY?Microphone• record audioWHY?Wi-Fi connection information• view Wi-Fi connectionsWHY?Other• receive data from Internet WHY?• change screen orientation WHY?• power device on or off WHY?• prevent device from sleeping WHY?• change network connectivity WHY?• connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi WHY?• view network connections WHY?• run at startup OK…• control vibration OK…• full network access WHY?• change system display settings OK…• disable your screen lock WHY?• read Google service configuration WHY?• control flashlight WHY?Could you please explain WHY your app would need all of the above access?Thank you
