Android Simplifies Permissions UI in Play Store: Threat or Shield
Just over a week, Google introduced
their latest version of the Play Store with the tweak in the
permissions. Developers are now likely going to see related
permissions grouped together when you update the apps.
With Google, discarding the old User
Interface to make the installation process comfortable, but this
simplicity also has some potential implication where we need to
worry.
According to the Android Police, previously Google updated apps via Plat Store and dropped a notification at the users account if any new permission were added. However, with the new permission UI, a user will be notified that there is a change if a new group adds. It indicates a serious threat, were permissions can add up without your knowledge. Aptly speaking, when new permission adds up, developers would see no new changes until they add a new category.
Not so great for those who are
attentive for new permissions and do not make everything a
free-for-all.as Android Police shares, permissions have to be in an
already-approved group in order to get added. Well, it does not seem
to have much in the way of risk prioritization.
Well, mobile app development
teams still have a space and scope to work with the permissions
amicably. To know more about this recent update and its implications
find it out with Android
Police, and research thoroughly, before installing or updating
apps you are not sure.
