Summary0020329: Remove the Permission for access to Contacts
DescriptionCurrently, 'Contacts' access is required for assigning a ringtone to a contact. i.e. the user can select a track in MMA and Set as > Assign to Contact. Unfortunately, this requires the 'Contacts' permission which is considered anomalous for Media apps (and results in some users getting the impression that MMA is doing something untrustworthy).

Would it be possible / make more sense to instead to allow MMA to be called via Contacts > ContactName > Set Ringtone > Complete action using MediaMonkey, so that MediaMonkey would not require the Contacts permission?

Aside: the same issue applies to the 'Camera' permission used for QR Code scanning for Server configuration. But there's probably not a solution to that, short of removing the functionality.
