Is there an existing request for this?

Feature description

As the title says. Since this app target minimum SDK to 24 (android 7) this permission is not required anymore.

See: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS

“ Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), if an app shares the signature of the authenticator that manages an account, it does not need "GET_ACCOUNTS" permission to read information about that account. On Android 5.1 and lower, all apps need "GET_ACCOUNTS" permission to read information about any account.”
