android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS

[pkumar-uk]

Google is restricting which apps can request Call Log and SMS permissions. And Razorpay plugin is having android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS.
Will the plugin work if this is removed.
Please advice if you are changing plugin to adhere to Google policy or if thee are work arounds

After removing permission it will not auto read SMS on the transaction.
We are updating our plugin according to Google Play policy and will roll-out an update before this month end.

@abhilashWipadika We have removed SMS permission and it's released it in v1.4.0 itself. U can use the latest SDK version.

Google is still preventing it even if I'm using latest SDK. Any suggestions?

This permission is still getting added : after building the application.

[pkumar-uk]

I can confirm. For me it was working and SMS permission was removed and google accepted my apk.

[TitikshaDaga]

ok. There might be an issue with some other plugin then.
