Used to check phone ID for registrationPrivacy ConcernsA few people have emailed me concerned about location etc. I amasole developer, I'm not spending my time trying to locate and spyonyou! ;)I use an analytics library which shows me which countriestheapps I write are downloaded which helps me to decidewhichlanguages to localise for first.The app also sends me statistics about crashes so that Icandetect any bugs I introduce and fix them quickly.Lastly, for those who have the free version, the Google adsuselocation to serve you ads in the right language and thelocationthat suits you e.g. adverts for American products inEnglish ratherthan for German products in German.I hope this helps to explain why these permissions exist.
