Also there's no mention of android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

 
Although the apk in question doesn't seem to have any way to send the data
anywhere, forgetting to mention such a privacy related permission is not
good.   Luckily the phone itself will still ask for it.

As another related side note, if you want to see which installed apps have
been granted permission to access contacts, Permission Manager shows it.

Not sure why, but when I granted contact access to HeliBoard,
it still didn't show up in the Contacts permission tab though.
