Hi there,
first of all: i tried xbmc yesterday and i was blown away. i cried with joy for some of the awesome features.
beeing a filmfan for so long i am ashamed for not getting xbmc earlier.
i wanted to test the android app as well (since a remote is really handy) but the needed permissions confused me(i am an android developer too).
why does the app need access to my sms, mms, read my contacts, telefonstate and identity?
afaik telefonstate and identity is a relict that was used back then to not block the telefonapp from android and recognizing the end of a call/app.
this is no longer needed to archive this.
can anyone explain why this permissions got implemented? thanks
