App Permissions and Services

App Permissions
The Appnext SDK uses the permissions granted to your app in order to improve campaign targeting, and in order to suggest the most relevant apps to your users.
We highly recommend that your app request the following permissions so we can better suggest apps to your users, and serve premium campaign types in your app:

android.permission.GET_TASKS
android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
