That is a hell of a lot of permissions for what you are doing:
Identity
* find accounts on the device
Contacts
* read your contacts
* modify your contacts
Location
* approximate location (network-based)
* precise location (GPS and network-based)
* access extra location provider commands
Phone
* read call log
* write call log
Photos / Media / Files
* modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
* read the contents of your USB storage
Camera
* take pictures and videos
Microphone
* record audio
Device ID & call information
* read phone status and identity
Other
* receive data from Internet
* full network access
* view network connections
* change your audio settings
* control vibration
* prevent device from sleeping
Is this a problem with Android APIs? Does the ability to show a sponsor advert require detailed location, etc?I'm always surprised by how relatively simple apps seem to require such broad access.
