Meta's documentation on how to remove android permissions for Unreal Projects is completely wrong
Hi everyone, I'm writing this in the hopes it proves useful for someone who may be having issues removing unwanted android permissions from their Unreal engine project. This is something I've stru...
Seems as though the Meta documentation has been updated as recently as 7/31/2024, but it still gives the same instructions for excluding unwanted permissions. When we build with permissions listed in a ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt the resulting build requires those exact permissions. In fact, it seems as though it may add those permissions directly into the androidmaniftest.xml after building.
In another thread, someone suggested that Meta should include a checkbox in the Plugin settings for each Meta-sensitive permission (like they already have for voice permissions). Getting permissions correct was a paint point for us partially because of the documentation, so I second this idea.
