Why is this okay?

I wouldn’t download, e.g.; a video game that would ask for my contacts or location.

Why should I have to download and wait for the app to install before I know what permissions it’s asking for?

Furthermore - what’s the possible purpose of removing this information when it was already there?



Here's a reason: if you never download it, you can't give it a 1-star review.
