Hi, I heard somewhere that permission changes stops auto-update for users who already installed the app. Is this true for all permissions, or is it only for the api permission? I was thinking to add a crowdsourced finding network to my app for the iTAG keyfinders, but for that I would need the location permission as well.

Correct. Everybody has to install it from the AppStore if the permissions changes
