It is important to understand that no permission is added just because you referenced a library. The Phone library is a good example. Upvote 0

After you compile your app, open your Manifest, not via the manifest editor but the actual file located in <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME\Objects and look if any "unwanted" permissions have been added. Upvote 0
