Android studio adds unwanted permission after running application on real device

Question

After running application on device application required unwanted location permission that is not mention in manifest file. While when I am running same code from my friend

Answer 1

For the new versions of Google Play Service libraries, you have to add only the required part of the library as a dependency. For instance, if you are using Google Play Service library just to display ads from Admob, then replace

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

with

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.5.0'

This will remove the other unnecessary permissions.
