Why was the extra step to allow or deny permissions added? There can't be a good reason for this. Why spend the time and energy in making the process more difficult for your customers?
Welcome to Android Central! Keep in mind that this is a one-time ask for each permission -- when you choose your preference, it will remember it (but you can still change it in Settings>Apps).
