How to know which Android permissions safe to remove?

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 37.0.0
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

My current permissions dialog on Android when install is tapped shows the below. It is a lot. I know for sure I don’t use “prevent device from sleeping”. I want to remove select permissions but I don’t know if some of the installed expo modules are using them.

The “draw over other apps” I know I need that for development, but in production I don’t want it.

Any tips on how to identify which ones are safe to remove? At least for production?

I also don’t think I use these permissions:

    "READ_PHONE_STATE",
    "USE_FINGERPRINT",
    "VIBRATE",

Is Vibrate used by notifications?
