How do I include a permission in the AndroidManifest.xml
Question

How do I include a permission below (Android example) in the settings (AndroidManifest.xml) of an application created with an OutStsems platform?

<activity android:name=".MyScreen">

         <intent-filter>

                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category>

         </intent-filter>

</activity>


Thanks,

Ricardo Ferreira

Thanks João


I noticed that the outsystems build is already included in the manifest:

Have you checked this plugin: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/2040/android-permissions-plugin ?

Hi João Santos,

I checkd and used this plugin in my project but my requirement is diiferent.

in my project there is an another plugin name finbox(https://github.com/finbox-in/cordova-plugin-risk-manager)

in that they use some permission in there manifest file you can check in below document

 https://docs.finbox.in/device-connect/cordova.html#handle-permissions

and application manifest file set this permission after generating application and because of this google not approve my application to published on play store.

to resolve this issue they provide this solution, To remove the unused permissions,  add a remove rule to that permission as shown below

<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG"
    tools:node="remove" />

Hello, I've been doing some research and I didn't find anything like that in Outsystems. I would say, that your best option is to customize the Android Permissions plugin (https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/2040/android-permissions-plugin). You can make a fork of the code that is on github (https://github.com/kelter-antunes/cordova-plugin-android-permission)

Any update on this?

We are as well stuck with a deploy to store. Non of our applications need CAMERA but still it's mentioned in the apk.
Therefor we want to use the above code to remove this permission.

Most probably your application is using a plugin that is requiring that plugin in the plugin.xml file.

What Outsystems plugin are you using?

We have checked the plugins but not of them seem to really need it. But it still is requested, therefor we wanted to overwrite it in the finale build. 

Plugins: ardoJSON, Common Plugin, Firebase Mobile, FirebaseAPI, Google re CAPCHA react, Markdown-lt, Multilanguage, OutSystems UI

If you are sure that permission is not needed on those components, you can go into the plugin.xml of cordova plugin, look for android.permission.CAMERA  and delete that tag.
