Android Production: #
This package automaticly adds an extra permission to install apps from Android 8 & above.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" />
copied to clipboard
For most cases you don't want this permission in Production. To remove this. Add the following lines to the AndroidManifest.xml for the flavour/buildtype where you don't want this permission
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="your-package-name">

<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES"
tools:node="remove" />

</manifest>
copied to clipboard
In most cases you will place this in
/android/app/src/release/AndroidManifest.xml
But if you are using a flavour like prod, alpha, beta it will probably only be added here:
/android/app/src/prod/AndroidManifest.xml
This will make sure that the permission is only removed in prod so you can still install updates in beta & alpha
