Adb / Grant All Permissions On Install
Grant All Permissions On Install
Installs an APK while granting all requested permissions at installation.
adb install -g <path/to/file>.apk adb install -g <path/to/file>.apk #!/bin/bash
# Grant All Permissions On Install
adb install -g {{path/to/file}}.apk import subprocess
# Grant All Permissions On Install
# Make sure to replace <placeholders> with actual values
def run_command():
cmd = [
"adb",
"install",
"-g",
"<path/to/file>.apk"
]
try:
print(f"Executing: {' '.join(cmd)}")
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
except FileNotFoundError:
print("Error: adb not found. Please install it first.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
run_command() When To Use
Necessary during initial app deployment where permissions are critical for functionality.
Pro Tip
Test in a controlled environment first; granting all permissions may lead to unwanted app behaviors or permissions abuse.
