Ovrpulgins XML Manifest causing issues. HELP!
The Ovrpulgins XML Manifest asks for READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. This causes a permissions check when the app starts (for photos / media / data, you know the scary one). I have no Idea how to fix it. I have tried overwriting the manifest, and editing the manifest. Unity just merges manifests and rewrites the permissions back in. I can't find the manifest it is merging in.

- I believe it is required so the app can read the lens data of the connected device.
- It is, but it sends that scary permissions check. (this check got my game rejected even through it is their check).the fix is to add this <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="true" /> to your manifest
- We do legitimately need this permission. I'll see if there's anything we can do to avoid that, but I am not optimistic.
- if you are on OSX use "grep -rIin 'READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE' ." might help you find the conflicting android manifest. run from the base of the project in terminal of course.
- Looks like READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is only needed for some pre-Marshmallow OSes. Unfortunately, it is in Unity's current template AndroidManifest.xml, so you would have to hack it out in the staging area copy as described here: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1174614/modifying-androidmanifest-for-gearvr.html. Also be sure to build with API level 23 or higher.
