[M.LAZ]

hi every one..
i've uploaded my app to Google Play with targetSdkVersion 25 and of course i cannot downgrade the target version back.

so i used the Runtime Permissions for sdk > 23
every thing is ok now ,, my app works fine
but when i trying upload to google store give me this error message :

Upload failed
Duplicate declarations of permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE with different maxSdkVersions.

my manifest file :

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="25"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>

)


AddManifestText(
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light")
SetActivityAttribute(FastRandomChart, android:screenOrientation, "landscape")

is the runtime permision lib include the same WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission? @Erel

 

[M.LAZ]

i solved this with uncomment the lines in Manifest Editor :

'AddManifestText(
'<uses-permission
'  android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
'  android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
')

because when i check AndroidManifest.xml file i found declaration for

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

may be belongs for a certain lib maybe for runtime permision lib.

No.

You can click on List Permissions button (in the logs tag) to find where does it come from and whether it is really needed.
