1510648 - Lint Error: Missing Permissions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(GeckoView :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Emily Toop (:fluffyemily)]

This check scans through your code and libraries and looks at the APIs being used, and checks this against the set of permissions required to access those APIs. If the code using those APIs is called at runtime, then the program will crash.  

Furthermore, for permissions that are revocable (with targetSdkVersion 23), client code must also be prepared to handle the calls throwing an exception if the user rejects the request for permission at runtime.

Affected classes:

GeckoAppShell
GeckoNetworkManager

Attachment: Suppress MissingPermission warnings.

This is because these persmissions are the responsibility of the embedding app to request,not GeckoView's.
