Hi lads,

I have a app which I need to access my action cam. This app wants to have access on my storage and GPS locations. I don´t see the reason why it needs this permission, especially the GPS. Without these permissions the app refuses to establish a connection to the camera.

So when using the decompilers available online will I still be able to install the app on my android phone and access the camera without the permission prompts?

Or are there some mechanisms, checksums, hash codes which prevents apk changing?

Iam a C programmer and have no clue from app programming.

Cheers
