LiveCode Forums.

Dear Boris,

Thank you for your request.

Inneractive Ads are a 3rd party ad service that we provide access to within
LiveCode. As they are 3rd party, we do not have access to their underlying source
so we will only be able to supply the general terms of why this permission is
activated.

When this permission is activated, the following an app can access the following-

-read your IMEI/IMSI (to identify your device/SIM),
-read your phone number
-which provider is being used
-see whether a call is active and if so, phone number of the remote party

These might seem some extreme details that this permission gives access too but,
like other ad providers, I believe this permission is needed to allow the ad
service to-

-identify your device for target-ads (so the ad provider could tell whether a
certain ad was already shown to you)
-for statistical purposes

You may wish to contact inneractive directly in regards to this matter as they
should be able to provide you further information

In regards to the other application permissions that are available, below is a
breakdown of these-

Write external storage- Write external storage is required if your app will read
or write files on external storage(e.g. an SD card)
Internet- nternet is required if your app is accessing the internet.
Camera- Camera is required if your app is using any camera features.
In-App Billing—App Billing is required if you wish to use In-App purchasing
Read Contacts- Needed if you wish to read a devices contacts
Write Contacts- Needed if you wish to write to a devices contacts
Fine Location- Fine Location is required if you wish to use GPS to triangulate
device location (requires
course location)
Coarse Location- Coarse location is required if you wish to use mobile networks to

location
Vibration- Required if you wish to use a devices in built vibration motor
Idle Timer- Required if you wish to specify a time of dimming/locking a screen
when no user interaction has occurred
Ad Support- Required if you use ads within your app

I hope the above information gives you some leads.

Kind Regards,
