Hi,

Ok.
Consider the following scenario:

App A has location access permissions
App B has only network access permission.
Apps A & B have the same UID.
In this case, App B can use the location data of App A.

But if App A & B have different UIDs, then App B cannot access App A's
data directly.
Is there a way that App B can use App A's data using RPC?
