config.xml is a Cordova thing, so if you are using Capacitor it won’t use the config.xml, you can edit the AndroidManifest.xml manually as Capacitor doesn’t override your changes.

I try to use ionic react v7 and I can rewrite my config.xml file using capacitor.config.
But I can rewrite only preference section.
Can I add use-permisson to AndroidManifest automatically ?

Every new team member should manually rewrite AndroidManifest after clone project. Maybe somebody know best practice how to do this automatically. Thanks a lot

Nothing has changed, you still have to manually edit the AndroidManifest.xml.
People cloning the project don’t have to manually rewrite the AndroidManifest.xml, you should commit the changes to the AndroidManifest.xml so everybody cloning the repo should have the changes already.

If you don’t commit the ios/android projects, then you can take a look at https://trapeze.dev/ as it allows to programmatically modify the AndroidManifest.xml or use a different config file that also allows to do native configuration changes.
