Why does the new release need access to location and contacts? I hope this is an error.
The beta 2 release notes mention something about contacts which I presume to be connected with Proclaim functionality. Others may have better knowledge.
Even if it has to do with Proclaim why does it need access to ALL contacts? It should be up to the user what contacts if any Logos has access to.
This version has support for following Proclaim presentations. Proclaim is Logos' new church presentation software. The Logos app finds presentations by location, which requires the location permission. The presentation can contain contacts, which you can add from the app; this requires the contacts permission. The app does not read any contact data from your device.
