apk builder compute permissions

[Chris]

I am interested in how the apk builder computes permissions.

I have a proprietary encryption technique I developed for our websites that I just ran my DS app through.

In DS the app runs without a problem. However, when I compile to apk all kinds of things seem to break, most notibly, the ability to write/read to sdcard.

I am doing other testing. Just wanted some input. Also, would it be feasible for a future version to list the permissions and allow us to remove or add if needed, maybe an 'advanced' button that opened a check list of the permissions?

It does a fairly unsophisticated string search through the code looking for DroidScript keywords.

It includes permissions even for code that is commented out, so if you need to add sdcard access, adding a comment
//app.WriteFile()
would probably do it.

I know of no way to strip permissions apart from unzipping the APK, attacking the manifest, rezipping and signing.

Just so you know guys... you can add permissions to an App by putting a line at the top like this:-

_AddPermissions( "Network,USB" );

Possible values:-

 Share, USB, Network, Camera, Location, SMS, WakeLock, Shortcut, Vibrate, License, Bluetooth, Storage, 

Contacts, SmartWatch2, Sounds, Vending, Record, Phone, Accounts, Boot, Body

This function was originally designed for use in plugins, but there is not reason not to use it in your main App either

Thanks for that Dave.

Do you think that plugins might benefit from an equivalent _AddOptions ?
