The right way to ask users for iOS permissions

I don't really blame them either. Android will not automatically update apps that ask for additional permissions.

I suspect that a lot of users end up never updating apps like this. It makes a lot of sense for the developer to request everything that he might want upfront.

I'm probably in the minority here, but if I try to install an app and it requests any permission that I think is inappropriate for what I want to do with said app, then the app is not installed. Peroid.

And yes, I also decline to update apps that demand additional permissions. Requesting more permissions up front will not help you with this, at least not with me.

My 2c.

I just don't care as long as it's not sending texts or emails on its own. I can't see the point in caring so much.
