My Project keep asking permission to access Contacts on Android

Whenever i launch or package my game it keep asking for permission to access contact on Android, my game don’t need that type access and i don’t know how to remove it. Editing or deleting the AndroidManifest don’t work, i also disable a few plugins but no luck. The game cannot be played if the user decline permission. I cannot find any thread with this issue and other similiar thread doesn’t work in my situation. I don’t think this i a bug. But theres no viable solution out there in editing permission.

What i also weird is that I check if AndroidManifest have any tags that would request permission to Contacts but thier nothing.

Im lost, if anybody knows how to remove this I’ll appreciate it thanks.

try disable))

I have been having this issue as well. Did you find a solution? I also noticed that one of my projects seems to ask for contacts permissions but not the other. I am wondering if it’s my ad support plugin possibly but I’m not sure. It’s either that or me trying to set up the google play services for leaderboards. Those are my guesses but I haven’t had time to troubleshoot that.

No unfortunately. I thought it was google service but I deleted everything from Firebase, Google Cloud Platform, Google Consoles, I also deleted Android Binaries, Build, Intermediate and saved folder from the project and left the Google service in red in Android project settings but still have that issue.

I also thought it could be the Ads plugging but i have another project with the same plugin enable that doesn’t prompt contact access so I don’t think its the Ads plugging.

Everything from Project settings and pluggings are pretty exactly the same with the exception of the keystore and Project ids.

Issue happened in 4.26 - UE5 so migrating to another version didn’t help.

However i create a blank project and i just copy the keystore to the new project but unfortunately it prompt me to access the contact as well, so im assuming it could something to do with the keystore but i have yet to test it out.

Interesting. I am busy troubleshooting another issue with my android builds at the moment but I’ll let you know if I come across an answer.

this is exactly the problem with me too
please if you found the solution, please share it with us .

I fixed the issue in my project by unchecking “Request Access Token On Connect” in Android settings.
