How to request and use system permissions - Mobile Platform as a Service

mPaaS has updated its SDK directory and permission list to align with its privacy policy.

Important

To ensure our products and services function correctly and run securely, Mobile PaaS (mPaaS) may request or use certain operating system permissions.
To protect your right to know, this document lists the operating system permissions that our products and services may request or use. Permission names may differ across operating systems. You can also manage these permissions as needed.
As our products and services are upgraded, the types and purposes of the permissions we request or use may change. We will promptly update this list to reflect these changes and keep you informed.
Note that for functional and security purposes, we use third-party software development kits (SDKs). These third parties may also request or use relevant operating system permissions.
While using our products or services, you might use H5 pages or miniapps developed by third parties. These third-party plugins or miniapps may also request or use the operating system permissions necessary for their features.
