After installing this plugin app needs READ_PHONE_STATE permission. I get feedback - people doesn’t like it 😕 My app is getting low score only because of that permission. Is it necessary? What is it for?

@piernik & @battika

It looks to be a play services issue according to this stack overflow thread. You should read all of this, even the replies, and a potential workaround for now:

<manifest ...
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    ... >

<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"
    tools:node="remove" />

EDIT: In particular google play services 12.0.0
