Am making a basic phonegap based android app. All working perfectly and using localstorage (http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.3.0/phonegap_storage_storage.md.html#localStorage) to save data.
I am using
<preference name="permissions" value="none"/>
in my config.xml . When I install the package it still asks for internet, network and storage.. which is ok and I understand when I upload this to the market it will actually only require Internet (great).
My question is 😉 Do I need the filesystem permissions to use localstorage? Or by virtue of using having Internet Permissions does it get access to the DomLocalStorage? I just don’t want to require any more permissions than completely necessary.
I will be trying this myself anyway and post the answer if no one replies.. but I figured it might help someone else out anyway!
I suspect not. PhoneGap uses the same localstorage as the browser, which does not require special permissions to be set. So I can’t imagine that you would need to explicitly set filesystem permission in your manifest.
