Does anyone know how to remove the default Android permissions on a game created using CocoonJS cloud compiler?
It seems that when you create a game with the cloud compiler, the following permissions are automatically added to the apk:
android.permission.CAMERA
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.INTERNET
android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
android.permission.VIBRATE
android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
This is a problem for me for two reasons:
a) This prevents me from giving the game a Content Rating of 'Everyone' on Google Play. Google automatically bumps the rating up to 'low maturity' if the app asks for location permissions. My game is a game for preschool children, so I need to set a rating of 'Everyone'.
b) Some users are put off by games that seek excessive permissions, as there is a lot of malware out there.
Does ludei have any plans to make these setting optional?
