Abstract
Various embodiments are provided in which intra-application permissions may be granted on an electronic device. An application may access data from another application if the application has the proper permission signed by a permissions server. In one embodiment, a request is received by a first application that is installed on a device. The request is from a second application for permission to access data associated with the first application. A permissions record for the second application may be stored in an application package of the second application. The first application may access the permissions record to determine whether the second application has permission to access the data associated with the first application. The first application may provide the second application with access to the data associated with the first application based, at least in part, on the permissions record stored in the application package of the second application.
