             Summary: Only add WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE when listing sdcard in AndroidExtraFilesystems
                 Key: CB-12080
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12080
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin File
    Affects Versions: 4.3.0
         Environment: Android
            Reporter: Pavel Shevchuk
            Priority: Minor


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.
