    I think I have found a solution to this problem.
    I have separated my Map into multiple chunks, then loaded it in runtime sequentially, then built a (singleton)reference to the object.
    In this way, I was able to solve the problem effectively. No more black screen in shipping build!
    thank you all.

I have some experience with these permissions, so I'll try to help. I'm working on an AppLab release using UE4.27 right now, and I was able to remove the manifest permissions and run my app as expected.

 

Make sure to build out the apk and install it with the batch file. Don't use the "launch" button in the editor.

 

I created the xml file and updated the .Build.cs as shown in the instructions you are following. However, I'm not using a ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt. Maybe try without that. I see no good reason that should make a difference, but it's working for me.
