Is the request for internet persmission required at runtime (Android)?

Question

Answer 1

No, you shouldn't ask for INTERNET permission at runtime.

INTERNET belongs to the Normal permissions group, which are automatically granted by the system if they're declared in the Manifest, as mentioned in this document:

Normal permissions do not directly risk the user's privacy. If your app lists a normal permission in its manifest, the system grants the permission automatically.
