Android : can't disable google play

I’ve removed google play appId.xml and google play service became red (unconfigured), but when i’ve recompiled for publish in manifest there’s still
| Billing | Get Accounts | Check License |
that are unnecessary for my app,
No way to change manifest and deps manually, while all google service checkboxes are unmarked.
i think it shouldn’t be included in manifest and build if there’s no at least basic info. → can be a cause of errors

Hi OeAi,

Are you getting failed builds because of being unable to disable the google play services? If so can you attach an output log as a text file to this thread?

If you’re looking for the ability to manually alter the manifest, that is definitely something that is being looked into, I just can’t give any more info than that.

Thanks!

builds are ok thanks,
just billing shouldn’t be there, if it is not specified.
main problem can be with “Google Play service” that is not installed on my phone because it’s too big and i saw a lot of messages in store - people can’t install it “not enough memory”.

Hi OeAi,

From the dev:

The inclusion of the BILLING permission was fixed for 4.8, but in 4.7.x it is always included in the generated AndroidManifest.xml. To remove a permission for now you can use the GitHub sources and edit the code in Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Android\UEDeployAndroid.cs. The area to look in is the GenerateManifest function.
