In Flutter some packages are using permissions by their own, how to remove those permissions without removing whole package?

I am using these packages

  qr_code_scanner_plus: ^2.0.6
  google_mobile_ads: ^5.2.0
  provider: ^6.1.2
  google_maps_flutter: ^2.9.0
  wifi_iot: ^0.3.19+1
  permission_handler: ^11.3.1

This is android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml file

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application
        android:label="QR Scanner"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
            android:value="xxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxx"/>
        <activity
            android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity"
            android:exported="true"
            android:launchMode="singleTop"
            android:taskAffinity=""
            android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
            android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode"
            android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <!-- Specifies an Android theme to apply to this Activity as soon as
                 the Android process has started. This theme is visible to the user
                 while the Flutter UI initializes. After that, this theme continues
                 to determine the Window background behind the Flutter UI. -->
            <meta-data
              android:name="io.flutter.embedding.android.NormalTheme"
              android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
              />
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <!-- Don't delete the meta-data below.
             This is used by the Flutter tool to generate GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="2" />
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
            android:value="ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~XXXXXXXXXX"/>
        <service
            android:name=".MyTileService"
            android:icon="@drawable/flutter"
            android:label="QR Scanner"
            android:permission="android.permission.BIND_QUICK_SETTINGS_TILE"
            android:exported="true">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.service.quicksettings.action.QS_TILE"/>
            </intent-filter>
       </service>
    </application>
    <!-- Required to query activities that can process text, see:
         https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility and
         https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT.

         In particular, this is used by the Flutter engine in io.flutter.plugin.text.ProcessTextPlugin. -->
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PROCESS_TEXT"/>
            <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
        </intent>
    </queries>
</manifest>

I did not giving any permissions but my app end up using some unwanted permissions.

qr_code_scanner_plus: ^2.0.6 This package using camera.

wifi_iot: ^0.3.19+1 This is using Wi-Fi to connect to networks.

I am using google_maps_flutter: ^2.9.0 to use map as location picker. I am not using devices location. I want to get rid of these location permissions. If someone had done this before please mention?

I figured it out.

Just do some changes in AndroidManifest.xml

STEP 1: Change first this line Add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools at the end with in tag.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

STEP 2: And add permissions with tools:node="remove" at the end with in tag, this will restrict packages/libraries to use/add permissions during app build.

You can ckeck my code below.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" tools:node="remove"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" tools:node="remove"/>

NOTE: This only works for android.

It worked for me 100% ✅
