Hi, Mailing list During Crosswalk Test suite migrate the pack tool from make_apk to app tool, We found that many test cases got failed due to the permission issue. After analysis we found that the default permission template are restrict in app-tool than make_apk in bug XWALK-5016<https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-5016> Crosswalk app template defines too many permissions. There is also a related feature for App Tools to support permissions XWALK-5646<https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-5646> Support xwalk permissions. We send this mail to mailinglist to notify other App developers and Users about this change. You need to manually add the permissions in manifest.json if you build your app with app-tool. This Update impact many existing Crosswalk Apps and QA test suites which have permission request. Check the attachment for the analysis result of permission strategy between app tool and make_apk and impacted QA test suite and Crosswalk samples/demos. Robert, Franceco For the permission writing strategy in manifest.json, need you to provide a document or update the document https://crosswalk-project.org/documentation/manifest/permissions.html to guide the user to update/write the app’s manifest, current document is based on make_apk strategy. >From the Bug XWALK-5016 and XWALK-5646, we could not get the final solution >for app tool permission support strategy: 1. Does app-tool support default permission in template or not? Which ones are default one? From QA’s test with simple app (hello world), we found that ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE，ACCESS_WIFI_STATE，INTERNET are default permission in app-tool build, are they default enabled permission? Need your confirmation. 2. Does app-tool support Web API based permissions value in manifest.json (check “Permissions required by API” section) or use AndroidManifest.xml permission value directly? If use AndroidManifest.xml permission value, better to document the requested permissions for web APIs to facilitate app developer use. Since some APIs may request several permissions.
3. for App Tool, permission member in manifest.json need to update: xwalk_permissions --> xwalk_android_permissions Is it the final solution? Since we found in XWALK-5646, you want to deprecate xwlak_android_permission, isn’t it? What is the final permission member name? Thanks Jenny
