Eddy Verbruggen created CB-8401:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Android permissions don't merge nicely when maxSdkVersion
is set
Key: CB-8401
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8401
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugman
Environment: Android
Reporter: Eddy Verbruggen
If two plugins request the same permission they are nicely merged into one line
in AndroidManifest.xml.
However, if one of those two has 'android:maxSdkVersion="18"', both lines show
up in the resulting AndroidManifest.xml which is not allowed, so the Android
build fails.
As an example you can create a Cordova CLI project with the core File plugin
and SocialSharing (the latter has the maxSdkVersion set):
cordova create duplicatepermissiontest
cd duplicatepermissiontest
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.file
cordova plugin add nl.x-services.plugins.socialsharing
cordova prepare
The AndroidManifest.xml now has the duplicate permission.
I think what you'd want is the broader permission to 'win' this fight, so I'd
expect the manifest to contain only '<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>'.
Note that I added the maxSdkVersion restriction because according to Google SDK
19+ no longer requires the permission in my case and the permission tends to
scare off people using apps with this plugin installed.
I hope you will consider creating something clever to merge these duplicate
permissions.
