Cordova adds unwanted permission to AndroidManifest.xml when building from CLI

Question

I use CLI to build my Cordova app, and I have added the Media plugin.

\'cordova build\' automatically adds the android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO to my AndroidManifest.

Answer 1

after unsuccessfully trying several suggestions ;

went to platforms\android\cordova and ran

>clean

went back to project directory and (on windows) ran

>findstr /s /M RECORD_AUDIO *.* > results.txt

opened results.txt to see files with the permission in them

removed mention of permission from all files listed except the AudioHandler.java files.

Did a build and it worked. Finally.
