I understand apps can communicate data to each other with mutual consent. Is it possible for an app to bypass restricted network permission by sending data to another app that has network permission? For example, a Google app with restricted network permission sending data to Google play services that has network permission and uploads the data.

      Cadmuim As far i'm aware yes, it is called inter-process communication or IPC.

          Also the GOS team had an idea to implement IPC scopes, but while working on it it came clear that the initial approach had ultimatly verry much in common on how profiles operate, and it perhaps wouldn't make much sense to spend more resources on that approach. This is in my own words and probably over simplified, but if u search IPC on this forum, u'll find much more detailed information, aswell as official responses.

          Good to know. Thank you.

          Cadmuim Yes, but it would have to send that data via IPC to that other application, which would have to be capable of interpreting it and delivering it to the intended destination.
