// create a file 020_add_android_permissions.js in your hooks/after_prepare folder with the following code:
#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';
const fs = require('fs');
const _ = require('lodash');
const xml2js = require('xml2js');
// here add/remove permissions you need for Android app
let permissions = [

// after that adjust yous config.xml to look like this:
<widget ...>
...
<platform name="android">
...
<hook type="after_prepare" src="hooks/after_prepare/020_add_android_permissions.js"/>
