Unity ads triggering suspicious permission on Android

My app wants access to the users 'contacts' and wants permission 'to make calls' on Android. Only service I am using is Unity ads.

What's up with that? It's killing the few users I'm getting, I wouldn't install apps asking for those kind of permission either.

 

Hi,

Which version of Unity/Ads SDK are you using? Shouldn't be the case that we require those permissions afaik, but will take a look.

Hi,

2.0.8 & Unity 2018.1.6f1

Thank you for having a look.

Apparently:
---------------------------------
It is UnityChannel.aar

• Find it in project somewhere under plugins
• Then change format .arr to .zip and unzip it
• Then you will see there is hidden AndroidManifest there, which merges with normal android manifest, permissions comes from there

If this is not working, you need to identify all .aar formatted files in project and unzip them one by one, the culprit permissions could be hidden in any of them.
