Hi, I had no luck trying your solution, due to the following reasons.
- I can't use UE4.27, due to project-specific reason.
- Tried your solution without ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt on UE4.26, but it didn't work.

Don't worry about using 4.27. You should be able to get this working with 4.26. Worst case, you ask for an exception from the review team as noted in the other thread.
Out of curiosity I built one of my 4.26 projects and took a look at the manifest. I packaged a shipping build with "for distribution" enabled and signed with a keystore. When I inspect the android manifest in <Project>/Intermediate/Android, I see that it includes "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" but not "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE".
Is it possible you are trying to remove the read permission but it wasn't included to begin with? This may only be relevant to your VR template project.
