You need to state the permissions you *may* request/use in AndroidManifest.xml. This data can then be displayed to users pre-installation. From the (limited) article, it doesn't seem they do this: https://thereallo.dev/blog/decompiling-the-white-house-app#p... ---- EDIT: I'm mistaken. From the Play Store[0] it has access to * approximate location (network-based) * precise location (GPS and network-based) [0] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.whitehouse... This seems to disagree with: > The location permissions aren't declared in the AndroidManifest but requested at runtime *shrug*, someone should dig deeper. It looks like the article may not match reality. | ||
