Thanks, but why does the post show two screenshots juxtaposed:
- one labeled as "2FA Authenticator permissions disclosed on Google Play"
- and the other as "2FA Authenticator permissions requested"
They even made "disclosed" and "requested" bold to stress that there'd be a difference, and in fact the former list of permissions is shorter than the latter?
You said that some permissions are "ignored". Is that the explanation?
Where is a list of all Android permissions which are "ignored", i.e. not told to the user when installing apps?
From the screenshots it looks like the permission to install software is part of whats lacking to be disclosed.
That has a rather big security impact, why does Google ignore it?
I can't believe Android is that insecure :(
