Permissions in android

[TheDreamMaster]

I am seeing some unnecessary permissions in my android app. For some reason the GPS and the vibration permissions are enabled but I am not using either.

I thought it would be the GameAnalytics plugin, but I removed it from the project and I still get the GPS fine location and Vibrator permissions.

Since there are actions related to Location and Vibration in PM, which I am not using, could that be the problem?

If so, how would I solve it? Delete the actions from the PM folder?

Mystery solved.

Indeed it was PlayMaker. I removed the Vibration action and all 4 of the Location related Actions and my unnecessary android permissions went away.

A heads up to other developers

Good catch! Unfortunately Unity doesn't remove unused scripts from the build, so we need some system for this...

Maybe a Project Summary window with guidelines that depend on the build platform selected and actions present...? Some place to put a pre-build/release checklist...

For now I've added these to a new Android FAQ post.

Thanks for catching this!
