Uses-permission

* Required permission

When a project has LivePerson Android SDK (lp_messaging_sdk) as one of dependencies, all of the other permissions will be merged into the final AndroidManifest.xml. Any of these permissions can be removed if the application does not use it.
Example: If an application does not implement Voice and Video yet, then it can remove corresponding permissions:

• Declare tools namespace in the element, to use merge rule maker, as shown here:

        <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.example.myapp"
          xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
  

• Remove permissions from the merged manifest by using tools:node="remove"

        <uses-permission android:name="android.webkit.resource.AUDIO_CAPTURE" tools:node="remove"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.webkit.resource.VIDEO_CAPTURE" tools:node="remove"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" tools:node="remove"/>
  

Use merge rule makers carefully when the application has multiple dependencies.

Uses-feature

Declare these features enables Google Play filter your application from devices that do not meet its hardware requirements. You can disable the filter by using merge rule makers. Check more in Voice and Video.
