A question fo ryou guys Now lets say its a clone of the Loopt app in Webview which would be about 4 permissions.
So when app starts the first time I use a permission screen to inform user about why the permissions are needd and ask for user checkbox on every need permission, if user does not check all program fails to go further.. Would that type of inromation/wanring and etc make sense at clearignup consumer confusions and concerns? On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 2:35 PM, Jeremy Gray <[email protected]>wrote: > > Agreed.
