How to find all dangerous permissions which have been used on lower version in the Android Project

Android permissions: How can I learn which are dangerous vs normal?

Normal permissions are granted automatically, without prompting the user

AFAIK, the documentation is wrong here.

dangerous permissions are presented to the user when the app is installed and the user is asked to consent to granting them

AFAIK, all permissions have this behavior.

What this may have morphed into is that dangerous permissions are always displayed and normal permissions are ones that might be "below the fold" if there are enough dangerous ones.

For any particular Android permission I have in mind, how can I tell whether it is a normal permission or a dangerous permission? Is there a list of dangerous permissions and a list of normal permissions?

You can look at the source code.

Android permissions for API 23 and up

If you got time there are two types of permission.

Dangerous are to asked on runtime.
