App Ops is virtually the same as the privacy controls for iOS. It was pulled early from the Kit Kat release because it was breaking so many apps.


It was never intended for end user use, according to Google:

For now, yes. Like most things (e.g. Chromecast SDK) they don't speculate until the release is complete.

>The current UI is definitely not something that is appropriate for end users; it is mostly for platform engineers (a tool for examining, debugging, and testing the state of that part of the system), maybe some day for third party developers. In what form these features might be available in the regular UI I couldn’t really speculate about.


Look, spin it however you want. The point is. it's not there today.

And as far as Google is confirming, it won't be available any time in the near future.
