I do see a use case where a setPermissions API would be beneficial for testing, just like iOS, where you may want to test your UI behaves correctly if permission has been granted or denied.

You just have to install it since install use -g option ( https://github.com/wix/detox/blob/419d356506f0c1751072b8c44bfc663bece4a856/detox/src/devices/android/ADB.js#L51)

from adb

 install [-lrtsdg] PACKAGE
 install-multiple [-lrtsdpg] PACKAGE...
     push package(s) to the device and install them
     -l: forward lock application
     -r: replace existing application
     -t: allow test packages
     -s: install application on sdcard
     -d: allow version code downgrade (debuggable packages only)
     -p: partial application install (install-multiple only)
     -g: grant all runtime permissions

@raphkr Maybe you ran into this too?
A fix will be in the next release for emulators running on API lvl 23 or lower. (API lvl 24 and above worked well before.)
