Mike Billau created CB-4811:
-------------------------------
Summary: Device plugin requires no permissions, so remove from
documentaion
Key: CB-4811
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4811
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Docs, Plugin Device
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Environment: Windows 7
Reporter: Mike Billau
Assignee: Michael Brooks
Priority: Minor
The docs for the cordova-plugin-device plugin
(http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/cordova_device_device.md.html#Device)
say that the plugin will add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
to AndroidManifest.xml
However, it seems like this is not actually the case, because 1) there is
nothing in the plugin.xml file that would do this (missing <config-file
target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*">[...]) element, and 2) it doesn't seem
like the device functionality needs this permission at all.
Unless there are some strange dependencies that I'm not seeing between other
plugins that require the device plugin to have this permission (that wouldn't
make sense...?), I think the docs should be edited to reflect this to avoid
causing confusion (it confused me at least!)
