    The daydream app exported from unity are currently build with
    <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="true" /> in AndroidManifest.xml

    But my app need these two permissions:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />

    then it means that user will manually go to "Settings->Apps-> AppName-> Permissions" to allow these permissions.
    Is there anyway to not skip PermissionsDialog in daydream app?

    You can create a custom AndroidManifest.xml in Assets/Plugins/Android where you can add these permissions and I believe override the SkipPermissionsDialog. This will then be merged into the AndroidManifest.xml in the APK.

    Having said that, this was done this way for a purpose. If you are in the Daydream VR Launcher and your headset on it would be considered a bad experience to have to take it off and remove the device just to clear the alerts. User experience is important not just in the application but in the use of the device, viewer and controller as well.

    My understanding is yes, but I have no information I can share with you about it. :-(

    I think the described steps "Settings->Apps-> AppName-> Permissions" from zurrix are more unsatisfactory than passing the permission dialog by one touch "Accept". Or did I understand something wrong?

    There's update with GVR 1.1, a demo about permissions included.

    @zurrix The built PermissionsDemo as apk doesn't work. Does it for you? If I click UI "Request Permission" the app asks me to take the phone out of the headset. If I do this, the animation is still the same. If I turn the phone to vertical, there is a button "RETURN TO VR". If I click it, I am back to the cubes with UI.
