this doesn’t appear to work as even when permissions are set to : , Expo is ignoring this and populates requested permissions with lots of things like wifi and network access, sms etc etc.

True. There is a set of minimum permissions:

 To use ONLY the following minimum necessary permissions and none of the extras supported
      by Expo, set "permissions" to []. The minimum necessary permissions do not require a
      Privacy Policy when uploading to Google Play Store and are:

      • receive data from Internet
      • view network connections
      • full network access
      • change your audio settings
      • draw over other apps
      • prevent device from sleeping
