Why do you need to put extra permission to access internet in your app?
You need to add this permission for user security. Whenever you download an app from play store, it asks for permission that application will use.
Lets say you are downloading an application which must not use internet at all and if you don’t require any permission for that, it might be secretly putting data on some server. You need to explicitly put internet permission in AndroidManifest.xml, so user of your app will be aware of it.
