Yeah, I believe these two things are more or less part of the same major API change to how permissions are handled. Note that until like... this year, you could simply target older Android versions to prevent users denying your app's permissions.

It looks like Google's going to try to start forcing apps to comply with targeting requirements to get apps on the Play Store now. But this really is a "too little, too late" situation, IMHO. Billions of users, as Android team likes to brag about, are already compromised.
