I'm trying to understand whether Google does indeed provide an APK permission analyzer? I did find this: http://code.google.com/p/apk-permission-analyzer/ If not, does Google (outside of Bouncer) check the APK permissions for "relevance"? Lots of apps (not naming here) have access to non-relevant permissions i.e. contacts and calendar. Some say apps require these permissions to work. I for one don't believe this is true for a lot of apps I've reviewed.

If you are referring to something along the lines of the linked-to project, no.

If not, does Google (outside of Bouncer) check the APK permissions for "relevance"?

Not as far as we are aware.
