Change AndroidManifest.xml for AppLab submission.
I'm trying to get my app to be submitted into the AppLab, but I'm running into issues where no matter what I try, I always get those permissions active in my build: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED My app currently does not use any of those permissions, but I am currently using Oculus Interaction SDK (The old integration), so I have two options, to delete all the code that is tied to those permissions, or use another straighter (to the point) solution like modifying the manifest directly, I tried the following code using custom AndroidManifest.xml file checked on Player Settings: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.CompanyName.MyApp" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE" tools:node="remove" /> <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@mipmap/app_icon" android:allowBackup="false"> <activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:configChanges="locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|mcc|mnc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|touchscreen|uiMode" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="false" /> <meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.vr.application.mode" android:value="vr_only" /> <meta-data android:name="com.oculus.vr.focusaware" android:value="true"/> </application> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:version="1" android:required="true" /> </manifest> But it simply did not work, not matter what I tried. I also tried building directly on Android Studio, but it did not work either. I don't know why the custom manifest is not working, well, actually it works but specifically the record audio part. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" /> The other permissions simply stay there. I hope that maybe some good developer can help me with this issue. Unity version: 2021.3.30f1, Using this packages: Thank you very much for your patience 😊
Unable to give permission for All files access
I am currently working on an application that uses a specific document on the users device to transfer information and records between itself and different simmilar applications made by my team (imagine Game A storing its highscores in a shared document so Game B can read those same highscores and incorporate them in Game B). This methodologie allready works on the Hololens 2 which i have also developed for so i assumed it would work on the Quest 3 aswell. After doing some research i discovered that my best bet would be to try to get All File Access letting me access a shared directory between my different games. I found some code online that should help me ask for All Files Permission Access, as that isnt natively supported by unity itself. using var buildVersion = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Build$VERSION"); using var buildCodes = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Build$VERSION_CODES"); //Check SDK version > 29 if (buildVersion.GetStatic<int>("SDK_INT") > buildCodes.GetStatic<int>("Q")) { using var environment = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Environment"); //сhecking if permission already exists if (!environment.CallStatic<bool>("isExternalStorageManager")) { using var settings = new AndroidJavaClass("android.provider.Settings"); using var uri = new AndroidJavaClass("android.net.Uri"); using var unityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer"); using var currentActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity"); using var parsedUri = uri.CallStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("parse", $"package:{Application.identifier}"); using var intent = new AndroidJavaObject("android.content.Intent", settings.GetStatic<string>("ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION"), parsedUri); currentActivity.Call("startActivity", intent); return true; } } return false; However after trying to ask for permission i am presented with the following screen. I am not able to manipulate the grayed out checkbox with my fingers or controllers. Is there something i did wrong?
