cordova_permission_control

This plugin lets you control the permissions that other plugins ask for. Currently it is only designed for the Android platform, but it can be extended to other platforms as well, just drop me a pull request or start an issue.

Be aware that this might potentially break the functionality of the other plugins. Make sure that everything still works as expected.

Installation

Cordova CLI

npm install inquirer
cordova plugin add cordova_permission_control

Usage

This plugin acts when you add a new plugin. If you have plugins where you would like to remove some permissions you have to re-install them.

Example

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation
Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-geolocation@~2.1.0" via npm
Installing "cordova-plugin-geolocation" for android
? Select the permissions that you would like to REMOVE from this plugin (cordov
a-plugin-geolocation) (Press <space> to select)
>( ) android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (android)
 ( ) android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (android)
 ( ) android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (amazon-fireos)
 ( ) android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (amazon-fireos)

Select the permissions you would like to remove and hit enter:

? Select the permissions that you would like to REMOVE from this plugin (cordov
a-plugin-geolocation)
 ( ) android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (android)
 (*) android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (android)
 ( ) android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (amazon-fireos)
>(*) android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (amazon-fireos)

That's it. Also works when adding multiple plugins at once.
