----------------------------------
Also running into this issue. Is there any work being done on this?
> 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.
> This issue was first reported here:
> https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin/issues/295
> Best,
> Eddy
