Issue
I have a React Native Android app that is requesting the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES inside android/app/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/release/AndroidManifest.xml, as well as several other places like, android/app/build/intermediates/bundle_manifest/release/bundle-manifest/AndroidManifest.xml
This permission is not requested/added to my android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.
I need to find out why this permission is required.
Since it is not present in my android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, I am assuming that is a permission required by one of the packages installed in my app.
How can I go about finding what package/dependency is requiring this permission?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Solution
You can see what packages are requesting what permissions in the manifest-merger-release-report.txt
In my case this was located inside:
android/app/build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt
