>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Docs, Plugin Device
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
>         Environment: Windows 7

> The docs for the cordova-plugin-device plugin (http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/cordova_device_device.md.html#Device) say that the plugin will add 
> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
> to AndroidManifest.xml
> However, it seems like this is not actually the case, because 1) there is nothing in the plugin.xml file that would do this (missing <config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*">[...]) element, and 2) it doesn't seem like the device functionality needs this permission at all. 
> Unless there are some strange dependencies that I'm not seeing between other plugins that require the device plugin to have this permission (that wouldn't make sense...?), I think the docs should be edited to reflect this to avoid causing confusion (it confused me at least!)
