> WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is listed as dangerous according to latest Android SDK documentation:
> https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
> cordova-plugin-file only needs it for sdcard ExtraFilesystem, according to Cordova docs:
> https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-file/#configuring-the-plugin-optional
> Yet plugin.xml adds the permission to AndroidManifest unconditionally, even when i specify only harmless ExtraFilesystems in application's config.xml:
> https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugin-file.git;a=blob;f=plugin.xml;h=aba8feedd7493059922d252a4dec25a02b6bf532;hb=HEAD#l134
> I'd prefer the plugin to only add dangerous permissions when explicitly including sdcard ExtraFilesystem.
