As the title says, the microphone permission is requested even though this is not used on Android. This is likely because importing the QtMultimedia module triggers this permission to be added automatically by Qt Creator when deploying to Android.
Here are the things that need to be done:
1) Short term: Add an explanation of why the permission is (wrongly) requested to the Google Play
description.
2) Add which permissions are requested manually instead of relying on Qt's automated mechanism for this.
3) Make sure that the permission to access camera and microphone is not requsted before it is actually used on devices running Android 6+. We are planning to add sound as a possible input source in the future. At that point, we will need the microphone permission again, but this can be requested when the input source is added by the user.
