Newpipe: Incorrect permission request on download-button
.When I press the download button below a video NewPipe requests to send and view SMS messages and doesn't show the download-dialog if I deny..
Is this intended and if so, why does NewPipe requires SMS access?
I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, but I couldn't find anyting related to that and only observed this behavior as of this version.
Version: 0.18.5
OS: LineageOS-17.1 (UNOFFICIAL)
Device: Redmi Note 7
Dev/App lang.: English
Turns out my ROM is at fault here. Messed up permission description names. :)
Sincerely,

Where did you download NewPipe from? We never ask for SMS permission, see https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/blob/dev/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml for the permissions we have.

Turns out it's a mistake by the ROM I'm using. The permission names/descriptions are messed up, apparently.
I wrote a little test-app which only asks for Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and it says "SMS" in the dialog too.
Sorry that I bothered you guys, but you can imagine how confused I was. Thank you very much for your quick response.
