Ashish,
The "android.permission.DIAGNOSTIC" permission has a protection level of "signature". Also, it is defined in the framework package. This means that unless your application is signed by the same key that signed the framework package, you won't be granted it. The user is never involved in the granting process of permissions assigned the "signature" protection level.

Hi I am a little surprised to see that an app in which I included a RECIEVE SMS permission, it asks me for that permission, i've also included android.permission.DIAGNOSTIC in the same app, but it doesn't ask for anything. the biggest stunner is if i have only android.permission.DIAGNOSTIC, it says --- allow this application to : <No permissions>, means it is not even bothered about the fact that i am getting this permission this happens when i install my app from internet in emulator. i wonder -- is it bcoz the system considers this permission unimportant or is it just that i don't even get this permission. or is it that this permission is not allowed for any app please help thanks and regards ashish
