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.
