When Android asks for permission during a COME download

Permission prompts can appear during file saving, installation or app use. Identify the stage before choosing a response.

Browser stage

A browser may ask to save or access a destination for a file. Read the offered item and source. This decision does not mean the app is installed or that it has permission to use phone capabilities after opening.

Installer stage

Android may ask whether the source application can install unknown apps. Check the named source and intended file. Do not enable every available source or change a device policy merely to remove a prompt.

App-use stage

Runtime permissions concern capabilities used by the installed app. Match the request to the action you intended and choose an appropriate scope. Leave protection enabled throughout; permissions and security checks serve different purposes.

A useful next step

Return to the stage you are actually in, with each previous checkpoint confirmed.
