I was surprised how many different permissions they wanted for a news app.

Also, does Apple list permissions? I couldn't find it on their website (easily). I did find Google play store permissions easily.

Apple's App store doesn't list permissions, but permissions are not given until the user is asked for each individually. I think it's against the app store guidelines to require permissions that aren't actually necessary (eg. requiring microphone permission before displaying a news article to the user).
