Permissions

Asked by Dosto

Why do the app need to Record audio or Full Internet access or even Read phone state and identity ? I don't see why it would need those permissions

You are right: For strange reasons, PhoneGap/Cordova put on every `cordova run android` these permission in the /platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml file, because of the plugins enabled to manage the audio (I think).

I would not know how to prevent Cordova not to update the /platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml file.

I've only removed successfully the permission to write to the external SD card, but these remain:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
