Adjust Channel
Adjust requires permissions to access the network and WiFi status.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Receiver is used to track the source of installation. It is integrated into Player Network SDK, and users can check the configuration in the SDK package.
<receiver android:name="com.adjust.sdk.AdjustReferrerReceiver" android:exported="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Adjust does not provide any interface to manually control the collection of the Mac address. It only relies on the ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission to collect the Mac address.
As the compliance requirements do not allow the collection of Mac addresses, Player Network SDK does not apply for WiFi status permission for Adjust by default. At the same time, all plugins in Player Network SDK do not apply for this permission by default.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
AppsFlyer Channel
Required permissions are configured for Player Network SDK and games can check the configurations in the exported APK package.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
Optional permissions are sensitive permissions used to obtain and track Android hardware device information and is not recommended for use. If required, add the configurations to the AndroidManifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
By default, AppsFlyer does not apply for WiFi status permission. This permission is optional. In order to avoid merging AndroidManifest.xml, Adjust uses this to collect Mac addresses, so this permission is not requested by default.
