New permissions about faceslim

Hi, let me explain new permissions.

"Why does it need the identity of the phone?" - it actually doesn't. I have no idea why it's listed during instalation. All the permissions are definied in the file below. I suppose it's because of ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE but the app really don't need and don't use the identity of the phone.

https://github.com/indywidualny/FacebookLite/blob/master/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

• android.permission.INTERNET
• android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
• android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
• android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
• android.permission.VIBRATE

INTERNET is obvious, we need access to the Internet to do anything.

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE is needed to check if there is access to the Internet and it makes possible to determine connection type (mobile or Wi-Fi). It helps to decide when to use Facebook Zero. It's basically checking the state of the network.

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is for saving camera photos and it also grants access to files during photo upload.

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED is for auto-starting notifications service after booting the device if the service was configured and activated before.

VIBRATE is for enabling vibrations for notifications.
