I am currently making an Android application with Unity 2017.3.0f3 and Vuforia 7.0.36.

At startup, the application asks for

  • camera permission (that's ok and logic)

  • "Pictures, file and media on this device" (I don't understand this one !)

After further investigations, I discovered that during the creation of the Android Manifest file, Vuforia (VuforiaWrapper) was adding:

  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

That is why the application is asking for the second permission I guess.

Hence, why is Vuforia adding this aggresive "pictures, files and media" access ?

How to remove that ?

You can remove them by editing vuforia manifest file. If permission still persist, you can export the project to android studio and remove permissions from there.

  • Thanks. I would like to make it directly from Unity if possible. I cannot find any manifest file in vuforia folder of my unity project. Do you know where the "vuforia manifest file" is located in my project hierarchy ? – John Doe Jan 22 '20 at 09:40
  • probably in editor folder under vuforia. you can search from IDE for whole project if it is being added on unity build time. – Mubashar M Jan 22 '20 at 09:44
