Summary

As you saw, the Android permission system and model is vast and has introduced a few changes that can help app developers and applications gain more traction and installations and give the users the ability to decide when your applications will be able to use each permission-dependent feature. Keep in mind, though, that this is just a starting point and Android Marshmallow still needs to gain market share and get adopted by OEMs, enabling users with freedom of choice. You as an app developer must prepare in advance and make sure your application development is forward-facing, allowing new users to enjoy the latest updates as soon as possible while maintaining a high level of performance for your applications.

In the next chapter, we will go over a small yet important feature in the Android Marshmallow version: app linking.
