Cordova adds unwanted permission to AndroidManifest.xml when building from CLI

Question

I use CLI to build my Cordova app, and I have added the Media plugin.

\'cordova build\' automatically adds the android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO to my AndroidManifest.

Answer 1

I have done below:

1. Removed permission entries from below 2 files:

myapp\platforms\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml myapp\platforms\android\android.json

2. Rebuilt the apk in release mode.

It worked, removed permission entries dint come back in manifest file.
Successfully uploaded apk to Play console.
