[bug] Alien dalvik permission system not working properly
asked 2015-02-23 19:32:41 +0200
Version
Early access Yliaavanlampi, 1.1.2.15
Problem
An Android app running in the Alien dalvik can access internet without asking the permission for it.
Example which reproduces
Example app, which makes a HTTP request and displays downloaded text unless downloading fails: https://github.com/Acce0ss/jolla-aliendalvik-internet-test
https://github.com/Acce0ss/jolla-aliendalvik-internet-test/releases
Result of running the example
On an Android device, the app crashes when trying to download, throwing exception
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTERNET permission?)
On Jolla in Alien dalvik, the text is downloaded and displayed. Uploading also worked (although this example does not do it for simplicity).
