Android asking for: “allow to access photos, media, and files on your device?” But I don't need

Ionic Native

When I download and run my ionic app on a device, it is asking for phone calls and photos permissions even though I don’t need that and I didn’t write any code for those permissions.

Are there any plugins that might be triggering this?

“cordova-plugin-device”: {},
“cordova-plugin-splashscreen”: {},

}
},

The message it shows users it:

ionic android always show message “allow to access photos, media, and files on your device?”

I want to prevent this, my app doesn’t need access to photos or media

I’m using the social sharing app only to allow users to share my app to facebook. Would this be firing the permissions?

I have the same question. i don’t want any permissions and looks suspicious for the user to be asked for this access when the app dont need it.
