Is this needed?

[iclelland, 2015/09/02 20:04:48]

Yes, in order to be triggered by the GcmNetworkManager after the device reboots,
the browser needs this permission. (I'm not sure about the other manifest
files).

The permission itself is granted silently: there are no additional permission
upgrade dialogs from the play store, for instance; it just has to be requested
here.

[jkarlin, 2015/09/03 11:11:57]

It should be in all of the manifests then.

[iclelland, 2015/09/03 15:52:06]

Done.

[Yaron, 2015/09/24 16:13:17]

Is that only for M+ or in all cases? I see it isn't marked as dangerous so
you're probably right but adding any permissions makes me anxious given what
we've seen with update rates.

              choose the first MediaRouteController that can play it, so the order of the list can be important.
