AE question

[MrPlow]

Hi Guys,
Do I need to keep battery stats permission for in-app purchases only..?
Can I remove if I no longer use the in-app function?

I am trying to eliminate issues that might be causing some Samsung Galaxy Sx models problems installing my apps of late.

You should not remove it. Its used in the OnCreate() function, and its does not check the permission is added or not, so its try to read the battery stats anyway. So its might crash, if you not set the permission. Im eventuelly fix that, so its can been disabled in a later AE.

The permission is used for reading battery stats, how much battery you have left on your phone (see PLATFORMINFO$, its a official command).

Thanks SF,
No problem, I will leave it be so.

Just wondered because AppBrain analysis said the permission was very rarely used among apps globally.

Noticed the new AE does not add battery_stats permission?

Should I keep it or remove it?

I'm thinks I'm fixed its, so it's you require it is you checks battery status. But that some time ago.

Great, I'll leave in current apps and take out of new ones.
