Ok I sent a message to support inquiring about the permission to access the mic & the reply I got made sense. So now I will download & install it
Hi Ray,
The mic is not currently used in the eBid App.
The request for permission is linked to the camera permissions for Android.

That does make sense.
I've just downloaded it to my 'phone so that I may play too. At first glance I don't think you need worry too much about permissions. Although in the list it speaks of position access, it's just asked me what country I'm in!
I'll check on an android tablet later, as I'm in the middle of changing one over to Ubuntu...or into a doorstop, whichever comes first!

emmm thats wrong, You don't need to ask permission to use mic if all you need is the camera capture . http://developer.android.com/referen...ermission.html
I can see why you would ask for mic permissions if you were capturing audio along with video but can't see why its required for just pictures.
Perhaps its required in iOS apps, i take it ebid are cross developing with something like http://qt-project.org/ which could also be why.

Hmmm I see both your points John & BrunWulf, guess i will still hold off on the app til the mic permission is removed.
