Ben Senior updated CB-10225:
----------------------------
    Description: 
It's *really* important to be able to disable RECORD_AUDIO - we are getting bad 
reviews across several apps because people see it and think we're spying on 
them!!!

The correct way to do this seems to be using the config-file tag in config.xml. 
  e.g.
<gap:config-file platform="android" parent="/manifest" mode="delete">
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
            <uses-permission 
android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
    </gap:config-file>

All the other "fixes" are nonsense. Creating a modified plugin (failing to get 
new changes from the original), post processing the Manifest.XML (fragile, and 
in our setup, very vulnerable as devs use a few different ways to build), 
unpacking the .apk and removing from there, it's just no good.

I've tried many variations on a theme and nothing works. It seems the 
mode="delete" functionality just does not work!  Can this be fixed easily?  
There are hordes of devs running into exactly this problem, since years!
