Fun with permissions: Why the change in Android 6.0 may make you repeat yourself

*

In switching to a runtime permissions model in Android 6.0 — you're no longer giving access to your data just by installing an app — developers can now more easily explain themselves. Sort of.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow technically is all of a week old. (Less so if you count the date of the code drop, I suppose.) But it's been in developer preview status for months, and developers have been able to submit apps that use the new API level (and thus the new permissions) for a little while now.

So if you're running Marshmallow on a Nexus phone (and you really should be), you'll start running into the new permissions scheme as apps are updated. One of my first instances of this was with Twitter. (And kudos to Twitter for being one of the early ones.)
