The jury is in and the recommendations in that article and elsewhere are correct and help deliver the user-experience we all aspire to. As @QuentinFchx implies, perhaps you should lecture Facebook. Having said that, there is nothing that rules out adhering to those guidelines yet needing to ask for more than one permission simultaneously. For example, my NoteToSelf App is going to want to use the Camera and the Microphone. Do we a) annoy the user twice in rapid succession for a potential string or permissions or b) Explain why the posterity-recording function needs sight and sound? How about GeoLocation and Notifications if it's a geofence traversal Usurper Web App. "Hey crazy user Bargain Hunter needs your location to work out which one of our partners your next to and Notifications to let you know when there's a red-hot bargain on! Do you consent to Bargain Hunter to access you Location and send you Notifications?" No brainer! Or if we decide to tackle the granularity is: - "Usurper needs to access your location to send the ambulance. Do you agree to Usurper: - [tickbox] Accessing your location while you are viewing the App [tickbox] Accessing your location while your device is asleep or on a different App [tickbox] Using accurate GPS readings that may use battery power more quickly -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
