Stuck in the Permissions With You: Developer & End-User Perspectives on App Permissions & Their Privacy Ramifications
Mohammad Tahaei, Ruba Abu-Salma, Awais Rashid
Abstract
While the literature on permissions from the end-user perspective is rich, there is a lack of empirical research on why developers request permissions, their conceptualization of permissions, and how their perspectives compare with end-users’ perspectives. Our study aims to address these gaps using a mixed-methods approach.
