To unblock Autophone and test automation in general we landed a patch that will change "mach install" in a way that it will automatically grant all permissions at install time (adb install *-g* <apk>). So if you are using "mach install" you wont see any permission prompts because your app already has all the needed permissions. You'll need to manually revoke them - if you want to.
For gradle builds nothing has changed. However if you grant permissions at install time, uninstall the app, do a fresh new install, then the app will still have some permissions. Android does cache some of those as it seems. Anyways: If you are adding or changing code that requires a permission then take care of testing this part with and without permissions: You magically might have the needed permissions already - without being prompted ever. We (or more: gbrown) is looking into automatically granting permissions when running "mach roboccop|mochitest" (adb shell pm grant ..). After that we might be able to restore the old "mach install" behavior and reduce the confusion a bit.
