Why we request QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission: SwapTesters is a "Review and Testing Exchange" platform. To ensure fairness and prevent fraud, we must verify that a user has actually installed the specific app they claim to be testing.
- We use the
android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission strictly to verify the installation status of the specific package ID provided in the test campaign. - We do not store, share, or analyze your full list of installed apps for any other purpose.
- This check happens locally on your device or via a direct verification query only when you attempt to claim a reward for testing an app.
