Unknown Google Camera Services Application?

definitelynotathrowaway69

I was looking through my applications and I saw one labeled "com.google.pixel.camera.services.Persiste
ntApplication" (I have had the pixel camera installed once before but deleted it) the app has every permission (precise location, network, all contacts etc..) and I'm unable to disable it. Does anyone know what it is used for and why it has full system permissions?

Maybe you'll find this and the following posts helpful:

GrapheneOS already has Pixel Camera Services installed as part of the HAL but it's signed with our key which means you can't install an upgrade from the Play Store. It's updated as part of our OS updates incorporating the stock OS Pixel hardware support changes. We don't revoke any access to the TPU but rather provide a global toggle for the relevant Google apps for whether they can use the private TPU APIs. It doesn't provide any additional access to data or control over the device, just more direct access to hardware acceleration rather than only through the standard APIs for other apps to use. We enable the toggle by default so apps such as Pixel Camera work as well on GrapheneOS as they do on the stock OS by default.
