I just received a one star review for my phonegap/android app because google asked the user for photo/media/file permission before installing. They got pissed off because my app doesn't have anything to do with photos and they assumed my app was doing something malicious. A couple more reviews like this could sink my app before ever getting off the ground.
I removed all features from the android manifest and updated the app, but google still asks for permission to view photos/media/files when I test installing on my phone. Are these permissions required by phonegap or is there something I'm missing to disable these prompts? My app doesn't need any permissions for cameras, photos, gps etc.
Something else I can't figure out is why my tablet only asks for device id and call information while my phone asks for device id, call info, location and access to photos/media and files.
Is it possible with a phonegap app to have no permissions required when installing the app?
The app can be found here btw: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

I'm not sure what your issue is. The person asking a question DID not give enough information. This forum is for Phonegap Build a cloud-based service by Adobe/Phonegap. Sure we have many ideas. But giving a wrong answer helps no one.
If you follow the thread, the person that place the Post originally is building locally then using Phonegap Build - because it seems to be the easiest way to get the signing keys working.
If you have a question, I suggest you ask on a new thread.

you can also try other forums, if this is not to your liking. Here is a list or alternate forums:
Forums that support Cordova/Phonegap
Adobe forum for Phonegap Build
FWIW: I'm on Stackoverflow and Google Group. And get your blood pressure checked.
