Abstract
In an electronic device, a first application sends a request to a second application for access by the first application to a resource of the electronic device, wherein the first and second applications run on an operating system of the electronic device. In response to the first request, the second application is used to ask a user of the electronic device for permission for the first application to access the resource. A first user input is received, providing permission for the first application to access the resource. In response to the first user input, the second application is used to grant permission to the first application to access the resource.
