I would like to know what would be the top ten most deadly permissions that can be requested by an android. I know it might be a matter of opinion, but supposing that I had the 10 permission listed in by an application, I would definitely know my application did not generate a whole lot of confidence among users. What would be the permissions I would most likely like to avoid asking the user for.
I am aware of permissions like BRICK and SHUTDOWN but since they don’t apply to third party devs I would like to know only of permission which can be requested by a third party developer.
PS: need not necessarily be 10. Any number of permissions you believe might lead to the user being weary of application would be nice.
CALL_PRIVILEGED – call numbers without going through the dialer
SET_ALWAYS_FINISH – controls whether or not applications become finished when put in background. Could lead to some nasty trackers or something.
READ_CONTACTS – could lead to some data stealing for ppl to add to their spammer lists.
