Important note about system permissions:
Intel App Preview is a development tool that allows applicationdevelopers to preview other apps that are being developed. Theseapps under development may utilize a wide range of capabilities.For example, Intel App Preview supports the previewing of apps thataccess contacts. In order to allow an app being previewed to accesscontacts, Intel App Preview must request permission to accesscontacts at install time. Currently Android only enablespermissions be requested at install time, so Intel App Preview mustrequest all permissions that any app under development might needin order to utilize any of the capabilities supported by Intel AppPreview. Most of the permissions requested are not needed directlyby Intel App Preview, but are needed to enable applicationdevelopers to preview mobile apps under development.
