Android: Different Permissions For Different Flavors

I have An app with tow flavors ... only one of them needs some permissions. How can I request these permissions only for this flavor during building apk? These are the permissions

Solution 1:

For the purposes of this answer, I assume that you have two product flavors, chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate one is the one that needs the additional permissions.

Step #1: In src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, put the <uses-permission> elements that are in common between all the flavors

Step #2: Create src/chocolate/, a source set that will hold source that will only be used for chocolate builds, not vanilla builds

Step #3: In src/chocolate/AndroidManifest.xml, inside an otherwise-empty <manifest> element, put the <uses-permission> elements that chocolate needs that vanilla does not

Now, your chocolate builds will have all of the permissions, while vanilla builds will only have those from the main manifest.

Solution 2:

For each flavor you have to define a manifest wich contains unsimilarities
