By default, it looks like ExpoView comes with the following permissions
android.permission.CAMERA,android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE,android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
This causes google play to ask for security policy url and also looks bad when user tries to install the app.
In my app.json
"android": {
"permissions": []
},
I even have a line in my AndroidManifest.xml that says exclude it
but expo still seems to add these permissions. A closer inspection of the generated report shows that it’s added by expoview
ADDED from [host.exp.exponent:expoview:19.0.0] ~/.android/build-cache/xxxx/output/AndroidManifest.xml:35:22-76
uses-feature#android.hardware.camera
Any way to remove these unnecessary permission?
I am on 19.0.0 and have read this https://docs.expo.io/versions/v19.0.0/guides/configuration.html#permissions but it seem includes those permissions. It’s quit frustrating
