Is it possible to remove permissions by extension?

Discuss
#1

Can anyone make me that kind of extension that removes network permission and internet permission from manifest or allow us to select which permissions to remove?

#2

that is not possible

#3

ok then but kodular should give an option to disable those permissions they are completely useless for me.

#4

I can’t do hardwork everytime decompile apk edit manifest then convert to aab and all that

#5

Even if you do, google play store will reject your app for not asking permission from user…

#6

Nope they won’t coz I am not doing any of the task that requires internet

#7

No matter what you use but if your app needs it mean you must express or show else google play will do, I hope so

Can I ask why?

(Since it is possible to declare permissions in the Manifest via extension, it should actually also be possible to remove a permission.)

OK, but I would like to know the reason.

When you mention the @UsesPermission, at the build time of the app, it will be written to the Android manifest file one by one, and there isnt a feature to remove the lines written to the manifest.

I think only the MIT team can do it.

How can I bring their attention?

I think they will read it. But whether they do anything is another question.
