Details

Take Telephony implementation as an example.

[1] checks telephony permission before creating IPC channel. However, it's very likely that other WebAPI without telephony permission would want to use the internal TelephonyService, given Bluetooth API as an example. I believe the code can work as expected now is because the apps which acquire Bluetooth permission also acquire Telephony permission. But if app architecture changes, we might encounter some problems.

File this bug for tracking and discussing.
