App marketers: How to adapt to Android’s new data-sharing rules

Where today users downloading an Android app have to grant all required permissions before installing an app, under the new policy, apps will only be able to ask for a specific permission when a feature of the app requires it.

The first and most obvious change we should expect to see from this policy is users becoming more selective. Users will start refusing and rejecting intrusive apps and in turn developers will have no choice but to ask for less information.

The new data sharing system makes Android’s permissions-request process much more similar to that of iOS, a good enough reason for Android specialists to cross over and learn something from how it’s done on iPhone.
