Document required Android permissions

Open yschimke opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I think ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE is required, so maybe worth adding to https://envoy-mobile.github.io/docs/envoy-mobile/latest/start/building/building.html#android-requirements

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  <!--  This permission is needed in order to allow the application
     to initiate DNS resolution via c-ares. -->
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

I built envoy-mobile locally and and was able to install/execute it in my android emulator following the documentation. No ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions configuration was needed. Built in intel machine running ubuntu 20.04.

Looks like it falls back and just doesn't update on network changes. So you probably do want this on a real device.
