Also, the permissions were already there before I started to make changes, so we understand that all those users who have an older version of android have to accept them when installing the application from the store and does not seem to have been a Problem for Orbot to date. On the other hand, it seems that they are not used in the application, if they are not used, why are they there? And if they are used, the parts of the code that use them are not working in the latest versions of android since there is no code that manages them. That needs a review. > Thanks for the hard work on this, and I will definitely take a look at > the UI issues. > To you.
