Of course it works. I am still on the fence about it asking for PERMISSION. Does App have to ask?

It was also educational for me, that in DEBUG, "uninstalling" just means I need to Clean before next run.

Click to expand...
as it is not a dangerous permission and you do not use runtimepermissions at all (not needed) it seems to be an Android permission-system.
It is the user (not the app) which have to decide to accept permission or not.
You can not overcome this i guess.
