Do you have to give permission when installing an app on Android?
If the user is running an earlier version of Android, the user has to grant every one of the app’s permissions when installing the app; if the list is too long or seems inappropriate, the user may decide not to install your app at all. For these reasons, you should minimize the number of permissions your app needs.
When to revoke app permissions in Android 6.0?
Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant and revoke app permissions at run time, instead of doing so when they install the app. As a result, you’ll have to test your app under a wider range of conditions.
What should I do if my app is using too many permissions?
Just as users select apps that use fewer permissions for the same functionality, developers should review their libraries and select third-party SDKs that aren’t using unnecessary permissions.
When do you need permission to use coarse location?

Can you turn off permissions in Android 6.0?
Prior to Android 6.0, you could reasonably assume that if your app is running at all, it has all the permissions it declares in the app manifest. Beginning with Android 6.0 the user can turn permissions on or off for any app, even an app that targets API level 22 or lower.
What do I need to know about Google Play permissions?
