hey everybody,
my game is listed on a big german game site Chip.de. They started to check apps about how many permissions they are using. The app gets an overall app-risk-rating at the end.
My game Battle Wizard Attack has only 9% what is very good. I could not find any other app with a lower rating so far. It is made with C2+Crosswalk and I am using these plugins: Admob, ScreenOrientation, LocalNotification, GameService, ShareviaSNS, RateApp, GoogleAnalytics, StatusBar, LocalStorage, Browser and PowerManagement.
On installation my app requires only these permissions:
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
android.permission.INTERNET
android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
In IntelXDK I set storage to only internal so I don't know why that is required. Does anybody know how to reduce these? Does Admob require Network & Wifi access? It would be great to have an overview about what plugin requires permissions.
My risk-rating is only 9% but would love to maybe even get a 0%^^. In Germany it is very important. Many apps have around 35% because of collecting a lot of private user data.
Let me know what you think about privacy protection and if it is worth dropping a plugin for less permissions.
