An Android application generated with GeneXus by default requires all these permissions:
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS, READ_LOGS
Some of this may not be required in your application. So, if you want to not require them (avoid that customers not install the app because of security or privacy reasons), you can edit and <GeneXus Installation Directory\Android\Templates\AndroidManifest.xml> and comment them.

| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |

Permission scheme depends on the Android version. As from Android Marshmallow, permissions are solicited one-by-one at runtime, and in previous versions, all grants are requested together at installation time.
