Details

To make each icon in the app permissions list, we're making an img tag and setting its src directly to the iconURL from the app's manifest. For hosted apps, this means getting the icon over the network, which can be slow. This also has some security implications because an app could change its icon without the user noticing.
Maybe we could refer how homescreen handle these icons. It's worth to put to our backlog since it might impact the panel performance
