Package_Utilities / permission requested

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

why the Package_Utilities component adds READ_/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions to the Manifest and requests READ permission?

I am not sure but this is because of block Get Package Icon

A possible reason:
If you think that block returns a path to existing image then you are probably wrong.Because it creates a new image from bitmap and then returns path to newly created icon.
So it needs WRITE and READ permission.

Note: As you can see Label3.text = false, although READ was granted

If you don’t mind then have a look at this:
