eliminate need for permissions on android

Navigation
2

I am trying to publish my first app on Play, and it asks me to also provide a privacy policy since my app uses permissions that require a privacy policy:

  

(android.permission.CAMERA, android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO,   android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE, android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS,   android.permission.READ_CONTACTS)

.

Something I have done wrong, because my app does not need any of them: neither use audio, nor camera, or access contacts or accounts, or my phone number ... How can I eliminate the need for these permissions? Do I simply delete each line of "uses-permission" in Android manifest? Thanks.

Lately some policies have been changed in google play, requirements have been added and even the way to upload the applications, (including alpha and beta), privacy policies are necessary, but if you do not need the permissions you mention in your application (I recommend you delete them and test if they really are not required for the proper functioning of your application) simply delete them from the manifest file: AndroidManifest.xml .

When you upload the .apk, Google Play will detect that these permissions are not specified, so it will not require you to specify privacy policies.

Yes, if your application does not need to use the camera, the audio recordings or any of the permissions you mentioned above, simply go to the file Manifest.xml and delete the lines you do not need in your application. You should only keep the permissions that really are going to be used in your app.

This way, your application will not ask for those permissions when it starts.

Thanks for your help. I have removed from AndroidManifest.xml. the lines of "uses permision" that I did not need and all correct, the app works well and privacy policy is no longer required from google play. Thanks again, best regards.
