@OnlineBoy we can't make use of an apk. We need the changes to be made to the source file so we can make future edits to it. If we use your apk, next time we update the change would be gone.

So we need the change you made to the file that caused it to work. 👍

@geekgonecrazy yes i understand but i did not change the source file this is what i do to create new apk

get your apk from PlayStore decompile that using apktool(or android multitool) edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and add this line in it <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/> recompile and build it again and sign it and Done!

(sorry for my language)

in theory the permissions in cordova will be set automatically from the plugins, but something was wrong with this proj, so we can add the permissions in the config.xml using this plugin:

cordova plugin add cordova-custom-config

and as write here: https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config-example/blob/master/config.xml

        <!-- root-level config-file block -->
        <config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*">

            <supports-screens android:anyDensity="false" android:largeScreens="false" android:normalScreens="false" android:resizeable="false" android:smallScreens="false" android:xlargeScreens="false" />

            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" android:maxSdkVersion="15" />
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

            <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
            <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

            <permission android:name="com.mobiledonky.example.push.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
            <permission android:name="com.mobiledonky.example.push.permission.C2D_TEST" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
        </config-file>

Would either of you be willing to drop that in a Pull Request?

I am using RC 58.2 and the cordova android app - not getting camera and calls to work. I can click the button for either and it does request on other machines, but does not ask for permission to use camera. Has anyone figured this out. I checked both the manifests and it seems the appropriate lines of code are there, but i am lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
