I am wondering in what world self app updates would be considered a good thing. As an end user it terrifies me. Although in android you have to declare permissions beforehand, does it cover that? With android 6 would you be able to update to require anything and just ask on demand? Is the fear irrational?
Do you have any way to actually scrutinize app updates? About the only thing the constant update notifications do is cause me to uninstall apps that I'm not using any more.
