Hi Andrew. Are you accepting pull-request/issues for this repo? I think we found one issue with managed package scenarios and would like to submit a pull-request. Say I include CustomPermissionsReader in PackageA, and I need to use it to check a custom permission that is part of PackageB. I instantiate the CPR class, passing in the SObjectType of an SObject defined in PackageB (let's call it PackageB__MyObject__c). The problem is that when CPR tries to resolve the namespace of PackageB, it fails, because on lines 86 and 87, both getName and getLocalName return the value PackageB__MyObject__c, and then on line 88, name.removeEnd(localName) basically results in a blank string, and therefore it ends up looking in the default namespace for the custom permission, rather than in PackageB.

We modified the code to determine the namespace by splitting the value returned from describe.getName() on the '__' pattern (double underscore). Since the platform won't allow you to explicitly create an object name containing a double underscore pattern, you will end up with either a 2, or 3 element array after splitting. If the split array contains two elements, then the object is in the default namespace. If the split array contains three elements ( [PackageB, MyObject, c] ), then element 0 of the returned array is your package namespace.

@afawcett - If I am creating a managed package, will the TEST_CUSTOM_PERMISSION be present when the unit tests for the package install are run. Given the complexity to test this, I thought it would be best asked.

As always, appreciate your time and contributions to the community. Thanks.
