DeviceInfoPlugin Opens Camera and Read/Write Permissions

[Jan Tampos]

Good day Sir @jamesmontemagno,

I was using your plugin for Xamarin Forms project due to the need of getting the device info. Your plugin works perfectly for what I need. However, it enabled my android CAMERA and READ/WRITE permissions and I don't have any idea how to disable it. The client really wants to disable these permissions when installing the APK.

I already tried to explicitly add tools:remove to the camera permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file but it still keeps the permissions.

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

Is there any way to disable these permissions using this plugin or any alternative solutions to do so.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I wouldn't want to end up removing your plugin just because of this problem.

Best regards,
Jan

@jantamps Do these permission requests go away when you remove the Device Info plugin from you project?

I don't think this plugin uses camera or external storage

It adds no permissions at all.
