Add permission

[Big Eyes Games]

Hello,
Is it possible to add permissions manually? for example:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>

_AddPermissions('android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS');

Regards

You don't have that sort of direct control over the manifest in DroidScript. _AddPermissions("SMS") used to add the permissions group that included those permissions but it required a skeleton in the DroidScript manifest and DroidScript apps.
Google changed the rules and now disallows that skeleton. That rule-change is specific to SMS

If you want to create sms apps for personal use, you can install the X version of DroidScript from
http://androidscript.org/apk/DroidScript_180/X/

But whatever you do, do not upload APKs built with the X version to Google Play.

Read the file X Versions.txt

*** DO NOT USE THESE 'X' VERSIONS ON GOOGLE PLAY OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE TERMINATED! ***

The X versions of DroidScript enable certian extra admin features which are banned for apps published to Google Play but are useful for private/commercial projects where APKs are expected to be 'side loaded'. For example full COSU (kiosk mode) and SMS interception are enabled in the 'X' versions.

NOTE: To use the apkbuilder remove the '_17XX' part of the file name

Apologies to those reading this in email.

The link to the download should have been http://androidscript.org/apk/DroidScript_180/X/

I have corrected it in the forum

It would be possible to add this option: (it would be very useful)

_AddPermissions('GalaxyStore');

To add this permission:

com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY

GalaxyStore needs this permission for app submissions.
