This seems always to return true; even if the VIEWER has not installed the application...
Is that the correct behaviour?

opensocial.hasPermission(opensocial.Permission.VIEWER)

opensocial spec has VIEWER permission as always true; we don't hit the server to check that.

Is it causing issues for you?

Thank you for the response!

 It's not necessarily a problem for me; however, I was wondering whether the functionality is "correct".

Signal Loss:

opensocial spec has VIEWER permission as always true; we don't hit the server to check that.

Does this mean the Google OpenSocial v0.7 spec? Or, MyOpenSpace spec?

 Thanks again!

 Well, it's correct for the meantime.  When we start rolling out new features, such as requestSendMessage, that will require the permission AllowSendingMail.  Right now, there are no permissions to be granted, so viewer having permission is fine.

Now that all the new permissions values ("accesstopublicvideosphotos", "accesstoprivatevideosphotos", "displayonprofile", "displayonhome", "allowsendingemails" and "sendupdatestofriends") are being set and available via the opensocial.requestPermission() call, is it planned to improve this code to return useful values for the above permissions on the app?  Is there some other way to query whether viewer has these permissions set?
