[Ssc-dev] Hilfe, ich bin nackt! German Doc (possibly some sort of android app w/ face detection)

[Andrew Senior]

Yes, I think they say they're reading contacts, GPS, apps, photos, SMS, call
log. Not sure how many of these it is clear we're not reading through
Android permissions- otherwise trusting us just comes down to open source I
guess? Is there a mechanism whereby anyone can (provably) tell that our
market app is made from our source tree? (e.g. is there some kind of
checksum in the market version that can be generated from source?)
