Extra permission

See original GitHub issue

Here we have some default permissions https://github.com/crazecoder/open_file/blob/master/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L5-L6

How can I remove them?
Why we have REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES?
I am always using getApplicationDocumentsDirectory so I think READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is redundant , right?

For ease of use, the required permissions are written in the plugin. If you don’t need them, you can remove them like this

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="xxxxx">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES"
        tools:node="remove"/> 
</manifest>

These permissions should not be included by default and should be moved to the readme page. “Don’t unnecessarily request storage-related permissions for devices that run Android 10 or higher” https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/media
