Have you ever considered the possibility that all that has changed is the
popping up of the confirmation dialog for those particular permissions ?
IOW, if the permission request is NOT in the manifest its NOT given, but if
it is there its given without confirmation.
Hey, maybe you have knowledge and the tools to create a small testing app,
test it and tell us the results ?
I know that if I had (access to) both I would have already done that five
minutes ago.
