Android and iOS App Permissions

App permissions are the access an app requests to device features and data, such as the camera, location, contacts or storage. Some are low-risk; others, often called dangerous permissions, reach sensitive data and need the user's explicit consent.

A common finding is an app that asks for more than it needs, which widens its attack surface and raises privacy concerns. Reviewing the manifest and entitlements shows what an app requests and whether it is justified.
