Adam Tuttle updated CB-7822:
----------------------------
Description:
It seems intuitively incorrect that the Device Orientation plugin needs to
request the permissions ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, yet
they are required:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device-orientation/blob/master/plugin.xml
I did a little bit of research and haven't found anything conclusive one way or
the other. I just know that I need this information to make my app look good,
but now my users could think that I'm watching their GPS for no reason.
This was the best information I was able to find on getting orientation, but I
don't see any discussion on the necessary permissions.

I wish I had a better idea of whether or not this is a bug or a "feature" of
the way android permissions are provisioned, but this is the best I can do at
the moment. Can someone please look into this?
