Hey guys don't worry, we got this.

App permissions! A whole new way to crash apps.

Finally. Permissions at use time instead of install time.

So now instead of asking for all the permissions when you install, it'll ask when you first start the app.

As much as I like the per use thing I imagine using a permission heavy app for the first time is going to be annoying as gently caress.

Ugh people don't understand permissions anyway because they cover so many different functions, and now they're even more broad?

hooah

WTF?
That makes it a lot easier for users to blame the app developers, which I suppose is good, as opposed to the users having no idea why the app crashed.

You can't not provide this better feature because people are dumb. Let them deal with it. I don't need every Livewallpaper to access my location/microphone/contacts.

It sounds like the service provider has to verify a given app can handle links, though.

Enjoy android pay in 2016 on the phone you just bought. Android Pay on a billion users? How?

Oh, works on anything with Kitkat. But if you have M it users the new standard finger print api.
