It does work properly on Android. It only asks for access to Location, Contacts, Camera, and Storage.

Those are just things it has access to on your phone. That's not the permissions you give it on your Google account, which might include sending email as you. Those you can find here https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions?pl...

It doesn't appear in that list for me, curious if this is only affecting iPhone users and/or Android 5 and below.

According to https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/11/pokemon-go-shouldnt-have-f... it also happens sporadically on Android 5 and 6, and iPhones.

I checked that page already. I can only speak for myself but for me it has no listing on the Google Permissions page so it looks like it does permissions correctly to me.

I'm running Android 6.0.1 on a Nexus 6 btw.
