"App has unexpected permission" toast on app installs

  • Device OS and version: GrapheneOS 2024121200
  • Device model/manufacturer: Google Pixel 6a
  • F-Droid version (in the About screen): 1.22.0-alpha0

What did you do? (clear steps if possible)

Update or install app.

What did you expect to see?

Nothing.

What did you see instead?

A toast saying "App has unexpected permission: android.permission.OTHER_SENSORS".

android.permission.OTHER_SENSORS is a feature of GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/features#sensors-permission-toggle

I feel like it makes sense to not show the "App has unexpected permission" toast when the unexpected permission is android.permission.OTHER_SENSORS, as it's expected that the app will have this permission, on GrapheneOS.
