React Native still adds two unnecessary permissions to all Android apps. Phone one is specially sensitive as is labelled as "dangerous": https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/requesting.html#normal-dangerous

If you have a dangerous permission, you are obliged to write a privacy policy for your app (referring why you need and how you use such permission).

You can read more about it in this react-native issue facebook/react-native#5886.

This PR just removes those unnecessary permissions.

Amazing thank you so much for this @ferrannp, I didn't know RN added those permissions by default :O

Can't thank you enough for this 🙌
