Hey there! I was looking at the app's manifest and was wondering what this permission is for: https://github.com/z-huang/InnerTune/blob/dev/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L9 |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

In previous versions, the app had a built-in updater, which needs REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission. But now the built-in updater is removed, and I forgot to remove this permission.😅 |

I see! Appreciate the quick reply. :) I'm assuming that since it's not needed, it'll be removed in the future (principle of least privilege and all) |
