SMS Permission and Google Console

[mcolombo]

Hey, i downloaded this asset and works perfectly.
My doubt is regarding the SEND_SMS permission.
Is this really necessary? In the end, we only access the Contacts.
If I remove the permission, the plugin does not work.
But if i leave it, then Google asks me how do I use that permission when uploading the game in the console, since it's a sensitive permission.

Did anyone encounter this problem?
If so, what option did you choose for the "reasons" list for that permission?

Thanks a lot

Hi, yes i solved it.
What i did is remove the SEND_SMS permission request from the plugin. It was useless.
I had to create a new one using the base of the contacts plugin.

Here's the one i created, maybe it woks for you as well:

Just drag the .aar to Plugins/Android in your assets folder in Unity.
Regarding the Contact details issues you mention, you should contact the creator of the pluging. I just copy pasted that into my plugin and removed the unnecessary permission.

Hi @mcolombo, could you share your solution with us? Thanks!

I had to import the plugin in android studio and remove the sensitive lines that forced the sms permission to appear. Then compile it and put it back in unity.
Honestly, i dont remember exactly what else i did.

Hope it helps.
