Contacts permission
What for Ingress Prime requests permission to access contacts? Asked support but got probably automated answer with actually no answer about this question.
IMO this permission is not needed now because of Recruiter medal is no more and Prime haven't invite features.
Also disabled contacts permissions and Prime works as worked before.

For the very reasons you've listed, it will be needed in the future. They know this so rather than having a new popup after a new version, they're getting it from the start.
But what for,now? Seems it should be revoked before smth new will be introduced.AFAIK recruiter failed due to mule-creating.I am not complainin',i can dismiss contacts and Prime works.Just interested in future development and a bit angry about "bot" support
This is actually a violation of Play Store guidelines: https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/permissions/
Specifically, "You may not use permissions that give access to user or device data for undisclosed, unimplemented, or disallowed features or purposes."
There are very good reasons why that policy exists.
