Android permissions using admob - are they necessary?

Could you help me?

I have a question about permission required by using admob in my application. Are these permissions really necessary? I've found some app on PlayStore they are using ads without any permissions? How can I do it?

Thanks for your suggestions

Solution

  • The internet access permission does not by default show up when you are downloading an app under the permissions that the app uses (i.e. "The app requires no special permissions to run." In this example the app could still use internet access. Google simply gave every app the permission, however you still need to declare that you use the permission in your application). If you have checked the permissions manually (using a program) and the application does not use the internet access permissions then the "ads" are likely just pictures that when clicked open your browser. Thus they require no internet access.

    However to use admob the INTERNET ACCESS permission is required, the reason you don't see it is because Google no longer states whether application have this permission or not.
