We can't check the app permissions on Google Play ...
Not presented in the App Store; both android and iOS still have a permission system, but you need to download the app before you can see what permissions the app has asked for.

In iOS you see what permissions are requested when the app needs them and, you know, requests them from you with a dialog. That seems good enough?

The issue at hand is seeing what permissions the app wants
before
you download it, in the App Store

It’s not. It would save me from so many predatory apps if I knew they’d require contact and calendar access, for example, for a utility app.

It's the same for Android.
