I have been contacted by a few users that are concerned that my application uses the "read phone state and identity" permission. They are asking why I need to read their identity.
In my case my application just checks the phone state to automatically pause audio playback when the user gets a phone call. My application doesn't look at the identity. It would be nice if this could be separated into two different permissions, as it seems that the permission to read identity is of more concern to many users than the other permissions. I don't need the permission to read identity, but because of the way the permissions are grouped my app has to ask for permission to read identity. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
