Permissions

The default permissions could be scary to users since it includes GPS location, external storage, and full internet access. I know any app I see that has excess permissions get pummeled with bad reviews because of it (fairly or unfairly).
So anyway I tried just removing the permissions from the AndroidManifest and this seemed to work.
My question is, is this ok? Does Gideros handle not having these permissions gracefully or could it crash the app or cause errors? I only tested trying to load a url and it seemed ok, nothing happened.
Is there anything like this to worry about with Apple? I don't have any of those devices yet.
Thanks!

Yes you can remove all 5 of them without any hesitation. For example, if you remove ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission and try to use GPS, the application won't crash but also you won't get any GPS events.
