Question: I am working on a Phonegap app for Android which I am building with PhoneGap build. I noticed as I installed it that it requires a lot of permissions that I don't need, such as access to the camera.

In a normal android app I would change the manifest XML, but I can't find any documentation on how to do this while using phonegap build.

I am worried that this will put users off when installing it. How can I remove the unnecessary permissions?

Answer: 
In your config.xml file (that you'll be using with PhoneGap Build) add this:

```
<preference name="permissions" value="none" />

```

This will turn off all permission except network access, which phonegap needs to have on I think.
You will need to add the permissions to the `config.xml` file for phonegap build. By default, if you do not any permissions to this file all permission will be required.

It appears that you can now place the same elements that you would in `AndroidMAnifest.xml` into `config.xml`.
