Pavel Shevchuk created CB-12080:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Only add WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE when listing sdcard in
AndroidExtraFilesystems
Key: CB-12080
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12080
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin File
Affects Versions: 4.3.0
Environment: Android
Reporter: Pavel Shevchuk
Priority: Minor
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is listed as dangerous according to latest
Android SDK documentation:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
cordova-plugin-file only needs it for sdcard ExtraFilesystem, according to
Cordova docs:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-file/#configuring-the-plugin-optional
Yet plugin.xml adds the permission to AndroidManifest unconditionally, even
when i specify only harmless ExtraFilesystems in application's config.xml:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugin-file.git;a=blob;f=plugin.xml;h=aba8feedd7493059922d252a4dec25a02b6bf532;hb=HEAD#l134
I'd prefer the plugin to only add dangerous permissions when explicitly
including sdcard ExtraFilesystem.
