Permissions for newer devices (Android 6.0-Marshmallow and newer)

On newer devices (Android 6.0-Marshmallow and newer) the permissions are requested at run time. The application is installed even if the user denies the permissions but does not function properly. If the user denies the permission to read SMS messages, no messages are displayed.
