How to hide personal app information

Dokolo · December 9, 2020, 5:31am

I’m using Package Manager App to see the information of my app. And see some infos i do not want to share.

CERFIFICATE:
Issue Name: my email address
Subject Name: my email address
ACTIVITIES:
io.kodular.myUserName.AppName

And also how to avoid these weird permissions?
USED PERMISSION:
android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO
android.permission.VIDEO_CAPTURE
android.permission.CAMERA
android.permission.ACCESS_FIND_LOCATION // is it mean GPS?

The components which i use may cause this are File, Player and Exo Player (for playing audio).

How to hide them?
If mandatory how to change them?
Do i have to edit the manifest?

Thanks

you might want to change the package name

from the permissions it looks like you are using the camera and sound recorder component?
are you using ads?

I know how to change the package name and it is correct but i do not know where they grab my email address, it’s not anywhere on Kodular settings.

For the permissions non i do not use any of them.
I do not yet use ads, this is my first app i want to put in Play Sore, i will learn how to add ads later, for now there is no ads.
I ask before to edit the manifest in case they are important, my app do not do anything in the device except playing sound and read file.

You might want to list the ~~components~~ (edit: just noticed they are already listed ) ,and extensions you use?

The CustomWebView extensions adds these permissions to your manifest:

github.com

vknow360/CustomWebView/blob/223a12369e206360c898a93589cf346ab8fbc486/CustomWebView.java#L53


@DesignerComponent(version = 9,

        versionName = "9.2",

        description ="An extended form of Web Viewer <br> Developed by Sunny Gupta",

        category = ComponentCategory.EXTENSION,

        nonVisible = true,

        iconName = "https://res.cloudinary.com/andromedaviewflyvipul/image/upload/c_scale,h_20,w_20/v1571472765/ktvu4bapylsvnykoyhdm.png",

        helpUrl="https://github.com/vknow360/CustomWebView",

        androidMinSdk = 21)

@UsesActivities(activities = {@ActivityElement(intentFilters = {@IntentFilterElement(actionElements = {@ActionElement(name = "android.intent.action.VIEW")}, categoryElements = {@CategoryElement(name = "android.intent.category.DEFAULT"), @CategoryElement(name = "android.intent.category.BROWSABLE")}, dataElements = {@DataElement(scheme = "http"), @DataElement(scheme = "https")}), @IntentFilterElement(actionElements = {@ActionElement(name = "android.intent.action.VIEW")}, categoryElements = {@CategoryElement(name = "android.intent.category.DEFAULT"), @CategoryElement(name = "android.intent.category.BROWSABLE")}, dataElements = {@DataElement(scheme = "http"), @DataElement(scheme = "https"), @DataElement(mimeType = "text/html"), @DataElement(mimeType = "text/plain"), @DataElement(mimeType = "application/xhtml+xml")})},name="com.sunny.CustomWebView.CustomWebView$WebActivity")})

@SimpleObject(external=true)

@UsesPermissions(permissionNames="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,android.permission.ACCESS_DOWNLOAD_MANAGER,android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS, android.permission.CAMERA,android.permission.VIBRATE,android.webkit.resource.VIDEO_CAPTURE,android.webkit.resource.AUDIO_CAPTURE,android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT")

public final class CustomWebView extends AndroidNonvisibleComponent {

    public Activity activity;

    public WebView webView;

    public Context context;

    public boolean followLinks = true;

    public boolean prompt = true;

    public String UserAgent = "";

    public boolean ignoreSslErrors = false;

    WebViewInterface wvInterface;

    public JsPromptResult jsPromptResult ;

If the webpage you will view in your application doesn’t require these permissions, so you can remove them from your app’s manifest:

From keystore

What do you expect, it’s your packagename

Dokolo · December 9, 2020, 8:15pm

Oh ok thanks, probably to handle playing video and staff in Webview, so i can delete them because i do not use them.

Dokolo · December 9, 2020, 8:19pm

Probably i will use custom key when final build before to publish, so i can edit the email.
Do that email have to be my real email address?

on this io.kodular. myUserName .AppName i was surprised to see my username… can i edit it?

Boban · December 9, 2020, 8:40pm

Sorry I did not explore that, Google might be able to help.

Yes and no,
How do you want it, easy or difficult?

Easy, since myUserName = your email
Use another email

Difficult, real package name

Package name differences

Dokolo · December 9, 2020, 8:46pm

it’s not worth it, i choose the easy way.
Thanks!

The email address is grabbed by default. You can manually change that in any app that you create.
