I built an official Corona build for a game that we’re building.
I dropped the build in Dropbox & installed it on my Android mobile device.
The install requests access to the network & to the phone contact list.
My game is very simple, runs completely offline without needing network access & doesn’t use the phone contact list.
How can I make the app build not request this upon install? [import]uid: 92238 topic_id: 31390 reply_id: 331390[/import]

Thank you.
Here’s what I understand from the forum post:
* Try downgrading to Corona SDK 840 or earlier OR
* Try installing the apktool, extract the Corona generated apk file & package it up again
Does this make sense?
Is Corona Labs aware of this issue? [import]uid: 92238 topic_id: 31390 reply_id: 125484[/import]
ALL builds of Corona have these extra permissions built in.
The apktool 1.5.0 should work with all builds of Corona now.
The previous apktool (1.4.10 and earlier) worked only with build 840 and earlier.
Corona is aware of the issue and said that allowing us to take out those things is on the “todo” list. AFAIU, pretty far down the list. [import]uid: 160496 topic_id: 31390 reply_id: 125486[/import]
It’s not so much that it’s far down the list as that it is a lot more complicated to do than most people would think; Josh has made previous posts on this you might want to do a quick search for discussing the difficulties faced when trying to tackle this - but yes, it is certainly on our list.

I looked up:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
and the latest apktool version that I see is 1.4.3.
I did some searching & couldn’t find 1.5. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Much appreciated, thanks. [import]uid: 92238 topic_id: 31390 reply_id: 126683[/import]
Never mind: I found it in this comment in the forum post.

I repackaged my app after installing the apktool & I still get the error asking for the contact list & network access. I’m using build 894.
Any help on getting this working again appreciated. [import]uid: 92238 topic_id: 31390 reply_id: 127015[/import]
