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.
Wouldn't coarse location suffice? (rather than fine location by GPS)?
Or is there a possibility to have the proclaim presentation added as a feature to a second version of the Logos app (that doesn't require these additional permissions)? Maybe one "Basic" (that gives users access to all the books they need etc), and one "Advanced" that adds additional (advanced) features like Proclaim etc?
From the reviews that I've read on market (and my thoughts as well), a lot of people don't (yet) want/need the Proclaim presentation feature.- and are concerned about the added risks. Personally, I'm holding off on updating the logos app for now.
Thanks!
Why? It is kind of trying to engineer BBQ tasting pigs (so it would be easier to make ribs). Wouldn't it be more logical to build a plugin for Proclaim and leave Logos do its job and nothing else?
