How can I remove the camera permission from the .aab file manifest?

2

Why do you think, you have to remove that permission?
Which components and extensions do you use?

You forgot to answer the second question. .
What is the problem in providing a privacy policy?

I have no problem with privacy.

But Google Play will not allow uploading the file until the permission to access the camera is removed.
And my program does not need a camera and I can remove this access

No
Usually you would provide a privacy policy, because without that permission your app will not work

So remove it (<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA") from Java (source file) and recompile the extension.

Not necessary actually. Permissions can be modified without recompiling extension.
