Disable READ_PHONE_STATE permission for Android?

I’ve read in this thread that others have this problem to: I want to install a Corona app on Xoom Android 4, but during installation the following permission is requested:

* Network communication (full internet access)
* Phone calls (read phone state and identity)
[And hidden: * Network communication (view network state)]

I don’t need the second one I think, appparently it’s android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE – what might one need it for, and how do I turn it off?

Hey guys,

Josh has discussed this in various threads quite a few times. At present, no, it’s not possible.

This is something that may change in the not too distant future however so please keep an eye out for any updates. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24001 reply_id: 97023[/import]

+1 for getting rid of this and not having unused things compiled into the app. I think it freaks some potential buyers out when they see these required permissions with no functionality related reason. [import]uid: 102112 topic_id: 24001 reply_id: 102044[/import]

It has for Ansca :slight_smile:
Didn’t try it in last year but you can do it do it by yourself. Build apk, unpack file and edit AndroidManifest.xml. Next build apk again.
There is a lot of tools for such operation. [import]uid: 12704 topic_id: 24001 reply_id: 102057[/import]

I think the issue here is ease-of-(developer)-use. Let’s face it: we use Corona because we love the simplicity of developing with it! For every feature wish we have with Corona, we can of course say there’s tools out there that do it – using XCode with Objective-C, for starters! --, but we still love Corona and want to continue using it and helping improve it through feedback. (In the meantime, of course we can be grateful that there are additional workaround tools for the issues.) [import]uid: 10284 topic_id: 24001 reply_id: 102068[/import]
