Android: Permissions for GPS/Location
« on: August 22, 2013, 04:42:02 AM »
Hello, i just upgraded to Unity 4.2 and PM 1.7 (from 4.12 and PM 1.6.1)

Under android my game needs now permissions for GPS/Location without using these services/actions. I changed nothing in my project while updating!

These are the new functions/permissions:
android.hardware.LOCATION
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

The new 1.6.3 "Extended Location actions to use Android" are causing the permissions even when they are not used (same like the "Vibrate" action).

I deleted all 3 location actions from the playmaker action folder and that fixed the permission.

Is this the only workaround to handle this?

Yeah saw it, but its the same i already did.
Would be nice if Playmaker could strip unused actions by itself.

 Yep. I think Alex is looking into it.
