Hi all, I've been working on an application for developers that uses DropBoxManager. The DropBoxManager requires READ_LOGS permission to be granted in order to query information from it.
Today I've tested my application on newest (api 16) emulator before releasing it to Google Play. It turned out that Android now refuses to grant this permission to 3rd party applications. This is weird because I've looked through all Jelly Bean's documented changes and couldn't find anything that mentions READ_LOGS permission. So basically my questions: - Did anyone see this change documented? - Can someone confirm this behavior on Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean on it (the one released to attendees of Google I/O)? And questions to someone from Android team: - Why this breaking change wasn't described in documentations like READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE>was? - What should developers and testers do in order to use those handy utility applications that require READ_LOGS to be useful? Is there any way to allow READ_LOGS to 3rd party applications without making custom build (i.e. something in "Developer Options" that I could've missed)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
