How Libraries can silently add permissions to your Android App

final Manifest file :

app/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml

where did it exactly these permissions came from? 

app/build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-debug-report.txt

So the solution is :

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO” tools:node=”remove” />

Even if another library is asking for this specific permission, the build will be forced to not merge it in your final Manifest file
