Permissions

Adult Game Manager asks Android for permissions only when a feature needs access to local apps, files, or app installation.

Installed apps

The app needs to see installed applications so it can list APK games and compare them with catalog entries. Android may show this as an installed-apps visibility permission depending on the device and Android version.

Files and folders

File access is used for local APKs, JoiPlay archives, .joiback backups, exported backups, saved diagnostics, screenshots, and optional drop-in config files.

Use the Android picker when possible. If a device requires broader storage access for a workflow, grant it only if you are comfortable with that access.

Installing APKs

If you use Install APK, Android may ask you to allow installs from the browser, file manager, or Adult Game Manager. This is an Android system prompt. Adult Game Manager does not bypass Android's installer.

Diagnostics upload

Diagnostics upload is not automatic. Upload actions only appear when upload settings are configured, and uploads happen only after you tap the upload action.
