Play Store "RECEIVE_SMS" permissions issue

[TIMAI2]

My guess is that the Texting component adds the RECEIVE_SMS permission by default, no way to undo this with blocks.

As far as I know, the only way around this is to decompile your apk, edit the manifest file to remove the RECEIVE_SMS permission, then recompile the apk and re-sign it. You will need a program like Android Studio or apkTool to do this.

Here is an example:

Build apk whitout internet permission

I checked it with A2M. No problem removing this line <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> from the Manifest and build the APK. You will likely need to update the apktool.jar file: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/ . Otherwise you can use → APK Studio Editor:
