"The Guardian Project’s award-winning open-source app “Gibberbot”
for
Android, has been rebranded to “ChatSecure” for its version 12
release,
unifying the branding with the iPhone and iPad apps, while offering
major updates in security from the device through the network."
Can you explain why it needs these permissions:
use accounts on the device
find accounts on the device
view configured accounts
add or remove accounts
?
I believe it is because ChatSecure adds its own account on the device,
likely to enable linking with people in your usual address book.
But I'll let Nathan answer that in more detail. :)
Great stuff otherwise, congratulations to the Guardian Project!
Any chance it will appear soon in the Guardian Project f-droid repo?
It doesn't seem to be there now: gibberbot-latest.apk 19-Aug-2013 12:33
4.0M at https://guardianproject.info/repo/
