In my android project (using Android Studio), I have integrated a library which uses few extra permissions in its Manifest file. I want to remove one of the permissions which it uses for my app as i don't use that feature from the library and it is unwanted permission for my app.
I read about marker Selectors and tried it but it is not removing the permission.
This is what I added to my app manifest file:
<permission
android:name="android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS"
tools:node="remove" />
<permission
android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS"
tools:node="remove" />
But still while installing the app, I see the permission for "find accounts on the device" being asked.
can someone tell me what am I doing wrong or am I missing something?
My app manifest is kept in src/main location.
I tried other answers from StackOverflow but they did not solve the issue for me.
Thanks for any help
