Android app permissions Unreal 5.1.1

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I am doing this for the first time. Can you help me?
I searched the forum and saw that the topic was discussed. However, I’m green at this and I’m doing something wrong.
I would like to package a test file in UE5.1.1 for Android to Oculus Quest 2
I set the correct SDK and NDK for UE5.1.1, API 32 SDK Build-Tools 32.1.0-rc1, 32.0.0, 30.0.3, 29.0.2, NDK 25.1.8937393 and JDK jdk1.8.0_77

The project is packed correctly.
Then I upload the APK file to MetaQuestDeveloperHub to the Production channel (App Lab).
After loading it shows:
NOTE:
Your manifest includes the following permissions restricted by Oculus:

  • android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
  • android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO
  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO
  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
  • android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION
  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE
  • android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

I searched the forum and applied the code related to the AndroidSanitizePermissions_UPL.xml file

After uploading to the AppLab channel, the same information is still present.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong:(

Hi Ostwid,

Welcome to the Forums,

I had a similar issue when publishing something on Applab.

I remember these - two videos were helpful in removing unwanted permissions. (But will require converting your project to C++ if it is BP only)

Good luck!
