I'm making changes to existing code to make it compliant with the new permissions model in Android M. The app declares the READ_PHONE_STATE permission in its manifest which will require me to prompt the user to grant it at runtime. How can I locate all API calls which require this permission so I can prompt the user? I tried commenting out the permission from the manifest but the app built without errors in Android Studio 1.5.1. I also ran the lint tool while making sure that permission checking is turned on as described here but found no errors.

checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest. permission. X) checks if any permission is already granted, if you check out other answers they do the same, and rest of the code asks for the permissions not granted.
If your app needs to access the user's location, you must request permission by adding the relevant Android location permissions to your app. Android offers two location permissions: ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION . The permission you choose determines the accuracy of the location returned by the API.
Android apps must ask for permission to access sensitive resources on the phone, like the GPS, the camera, or the user's contacts data. When you say that an app can't access your location data, the operating system can prevent it from doing so because it runs the app in its own sandbox.
Once an app attempts to use a protected feature but failed to declare the required permission, the runtime system typically throws a security exception, which then terminates the app. Given these facts, it appears that the chances of bypassing permissions is slim.
Maybe a bit late, just found the following threads, hopefully still can help. How to find required Android Marshmallow runtime permissions in code? and How to find out which permission an android application needs
