Device specific permission

Is that possible? For me it seems like permissions are strictly bound to the app and the store so I assume this is not possible but still I want to make sure...

I think this would make sense because if you need internet permissions for weather only and use garmin weather for CIQ3.2 devices that support weather it makes no sense to request this permission...

thanks. It's no big problem as it seems that users are not as concerned about their privacy as in other eco systems like e.g. on android, but still, for me personally, it feels bad and unnecessary to request…

I agree that it would be much better to only need to request the permissions that you need on that device, but it's unfortunately not possible (I'd wish you could specify permission overrides in the monkey.jungle file).

The permissions is a per app thing and there is no override possible at the device level.
