After I install an android debug apk, the app lists all these permissions required ? Why so many and how can I restrict it to only the ones I use, I wouldnt install an app with access to all the things.

Hello! You can export Eclipce project and delete permissions manually from Android Manifest File. In the future we want to add an editor where such permissions can be selected.

I have read on another post you can, but unfortunately you cannot do it on the Tiggzi environment. You'd have to export the application and do it manually.

All the permissions are there as we don't know what native API you use in your app. We are planning to add an editor where you will be able to specify what permissions your apps needs. Today you could export the app source and modify the permissions directly.
