Sensitive Android Permissions when publishing on Huawei AppGallery

Hunter
Nov 22, 2020

If you chose to publish on AppGallery and getting a warning message like below, please provide reasons for requiring them. Also, consider removing those permissions as you might have accidentally added them.

Huawei AppGallery required descriptions

1. SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

2. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

3. READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Remove these 3 permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml

It looks something like that:

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” />

P/S: SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW reminds me of a sophisticated ransomware that does not allow you to quit.
