App notesPermissions before the first launch
The first useful work is not a store rank. It is knowing which device permissions a rummy client usually asks for, and which ones you can refuse.
Camera and file access are often requested for KYC. Contacts and SMS are not required to sort thirteen cards. If a package wants your full contact list to deal a hand, refuse and read sideload risk.
First launch should show rules or a table list, not an immediate unpaid “verify now or lose coins” timer. A countdown that exists only to panic you is a design choice, not a law.
First launch walk-through
Confirm the publisher name on the store card, if you use a store. Confirm the domain if you use the web path. Open settings and look for session limits. If limits are missing, decide whether you still want the seat.
What is the latest version?
Unpublished on this desk.
Should I allow contacts?
Not for a card sort.
Is there an official store listing?
Not verified here.
Web or app?
Web avoids a sideload. App convenience is not a safety argument.
Next note?
Download, then APK caution.
18+ only. No invented version number.
Permissions that do not belong to a sort
Thirteen cards do not need your contact list. SMS access is not a dealing mechanic. Camera access can be a KYC request. Those three sentences are the permission note.
A first launch that opens on a panic timer is a design choice. It is not a law. You can leave.
Store rank is unpublished. Version strings are unpublished. Anyone offering both in a caption is offering a caption.
Web avoids a sideload. App convenience is not a safety argument. Read the download note and the APK caution before you flip unknown sources on.
What a first launch should not demand
Thirteen cards do not need your contacts. SMS is not a dealing mechanic. Camera can be a KYC request. Refuse the first two unless you have a reason that is not a card sort.
A panic timer on first launch is a design choice. You can leave. A countdown is not a statute.
Store rank and version strings are unpublished. Captions that offer both are captions.
Web avoids a sideload. App convenience is not a safety argument. Read download and APK caution before unknown sources go on.
If limits are missing in settings, decide whether you still want the seat. Missing limits are a finding.
A first-launch checklist that does not mention a version
Publisher name on a store card, if you use a store. Domain spelling, if you use the web. Session limits in settings. Contacts permission off unless you have a reason that is not a sort.
A panic timer is a design choice. Leave if it is there to rush you.
Unknown sources stay off until you have a hash and a publisher page. This desk has neither.
Store rank stays unpublished. Anyone quoting a rank is quoting a caption.
Permissions restated without a store rank
Contacts off. SMS off. Camera only if KYC needs it. Overlay off. Unknown sources off. That is the permission restatement.
A panic timer is a design choice. Leave. A countdown is not a statute.
Version strings stay unpublished. Rank stays unpublished. Captions that offer both are captions.
Web avoids a sideload. Convenience is not a safety argument. Read download and APK caution before you flip a toggle.

A second pass on first launch
Publisher if a store. Domain if the web. Limits in settings. Contacts off. Those four are the launch restatement.
A panic timer is a design choice. Leave. A countdown is not a law.
Rank and version stay unpublished. Captions that offer both are captions. Web avoids a sideload.
Unknown sources stay off until a hash and a publisher page exist. This desk has neither.
Missing session limits are a finding. Decide whether you still want the seat.
Launch restated without a rank
Publisher if a store. Domain if the web. Limits in settings. Contacts off. SMS off. Camera only for KYC. Overlay off. Unknown sources off. A panic timer is a design choice you can leave. Rank and version stay unpublished. Captions that offer both are captions. Web avoids a sideload. Convenience is not a safety argument. Missing session limits are a finding. Decide whether you still want the seat. Read download and APK caution before a toggle moves. Thirteen cards do not need a contact list. That sentence is the permission core and it does not change because a banner is loud.
