My app uses some permissions (camera,....)
When first installing on an "ancient" android version (4.something) the install screen lists all the permission required when asking to install.

BUT

When first installing on a "newer" version (8.0) the install screen states there are NO permission required, BUT when first running the app (open), then a dialog appears asking to allow app to take pictures/record video with the DENY and ALLOW buttons.

Why does it not state the requirements/permissions on the install screen?

Google play now requests targetSdkVersion 28+,
So reading the above tutorial am I correct that android 6+ will never show the permission screen during install, BUT will ask for every permission needed (done via .CheckAndRequest and Manifest editor permissions) as the app is first run?

No necessarily, permissions are asked when you want.
i.e. You can open your app, and no permission for camera asked, until you're going to use camera for first time.
You can ask for that permission in Activity Create, but you can ask in the sub to call the camera...
