- -shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale().
- android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT permission now
- has "normal" protection level, so it is no longer necessary to request
- this permission directly from the user. The USE_FINGERPRINT
- permission enables fingerprints to be enabled for authentication, but
- does not give the requesting app access to the enrollment/fingerprint
- administration flow.
- android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission
- has protection level "dangerous", meaning that apps wanting to write to
- external storage will need to request permission from the user at
- runtime. Both READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE are members of the
- STORAGE permission group.
- android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or
- android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
- CONTACTS permissions group and others are removed or granted
- based on account type. In particular,

- android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS are ungrouped
- pending further changes in a later release.
- android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE,
- android.permission.CHANGE_WIMAX_STATE, and
- android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE now have
- protection level "normal".

- and android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN now have protection
- level "normal".

- package, android.app.assist.
