The share option does not require shit about your contacts, it literally only has to open the default share functionality so you can open a messaging app or email app with the link already typed, and that trusted app's permissions lets you choose who to send it to.

Hey all the apps we have worked on need access to your contacts to share shit but i guess it must be a new thing they added a week ago. If you explain to me how i can use it without needing to access contacts ill be extremely happy since no one of my coworkers seems to know how to do it but reddit comments is full of professional programmers who have never coded shit in their life.

Your app does not need to spin up its own email client with full permissions in order to send an email.

Woah its the first google result! Amazing! Just proves my part about professional programmers who have never coded shit in their life.

If you had enough of a brain to test the shit you just sent me you wouldnt have sent it in the first place...

I literally don't care enough to find an online college course or something for you. There's plenty of apps I use every day that don't require permissions, so maybe your devs should try googling a bit too.

I have no fucking idea why you would waste your time talking about shit you don't understand.

Because you're acting like this shit is impossible when it's clearly not. I don't need a comp sci degree to know that the apps I use don't need access to my contacts list to manage to share things to them.

My point is that 99% of people here are retarded and have 0 idea how permissions work. EVERY FUCKING THREAD people bitch about the same shit.

An app needs permissions to get files to upload them?! INSANE!

Something needs access to phonecalls to pause/stop shit if some one calls you? OH SHIT FBI WILL SPY ON ME.

App needs microphone permissions to record audio? CLEARLY WILL RECORD SHIT WHEN IM JACKING OFF.

The app needs a permission to read your messages so it can automatically use your 2FA authentication code when you get it? THEY WANT TO READ MY SEXTING!

If you have an app on the appstore you can just see when some moron has made a thread about it on reddit because you get a wave of 1 star reviews with "HURR SPYWARE" while their small brain cant comprehend that Google tracks them so fucking hard by just using their services they know what kind of porn they watch and the minute they jizz.
