Is android.permission.GET_TASKS required? #671
Open
Description
When upgrading from mapbox android sdk 9.6.0 -> 9.6.1, we see a new permission added to our mainfest: android.permission.GET_TASKS.
It appears this is part of the transitive telemetry upgrade (from 6.2.0 to 6.2.2).
The permission was added in this commit: mapbox/mapbox-events-android@f91ccf3
[telemetry] Add foreground/background information to location events.
Our app has minSdkVersion of 23.
Do we need this permission? What will be the consequence if we remove it?
Note that the documentation for this permission says it's deprecated, as of android api level 21:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#GET_TASKS
This constant was deprecated in API level 21.
No longer enforced.
