I will be Amazon's FAD soon and need help removing the unnecessary Android permissions.

I will be Amazon’s FAD soon and need help removing the unnecessary Android permissions. Would anyone be willing to do this for me? I would be willing to pay someone if necessary to have it done quickly. I am slated to be Free App of the Day on Sept 11th.

Thanks,

This link explains the process pretty well.

http://www.ludicroussoftware.com/blog/2012/05/08/remove-unused-libraries-from-corona-apps/

However, I just tested it with the latest public build (894 released yesterday) and it doesn’t seem to work anymore. Even if I do not make any changes to the file, and just do a corona build then decode/build/jarsign/zipalign I get a lua error on the device.

So not sure what broke, but it is a little disheartening.

But it works fine on the last public release (840) and maybe some of the daily builds in between, but I haven’t tested any.

And a good way to check permissions and addons for your android device is a free app called addons detector. [import]uid: 94868 topic_id: 30400 reply_id: 121834[/import]

Those instructions use apktool.

Between 840 and 894, we are building against a more recent version of the Android SDK. Perhaps Google changed things such that apktool no longer works correctly?

Sure, it’s revision 20.0.1. [import]uid: 26 topic_id: 30400 reply_id: 121969[/import]

walter, can I ask what version of Android SDK is being used in latest builds?

For your reference, this is what happens: the app installs, when you run it, the splash screen shows, then disappears, then the following appears in a box:

Error  
  
This application encountered a Lua error (see logs) or has been corrupted.

Nothing interesting that I can see shows in logs. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 30400 reply_id: 121967[/import]
