I downloaded a test .apk to play with my app to see what it looks like. Upon installing, it appears Thunkable has asked for every permission possible. It wants to access my contacts, my phone, my microphone, my SMS, my GPS location and a LOT of others… The problem is, my app isn’t that involved. I don’t require most, if ANY of this…just a simple read/write to SD card. So why is my app asking for all these permissions and how do I turn some of these off? I use no calendar components, no GPS features, nothing that would warrant going through my users contacts ---
