Is it possible to to target Amazon Appstore devices in the Android manifest to have different hardware permissions than Google Play devices? In the example below only Amazon devices would have request the permission to SEND_SMS.

For example:

<Amazon-sdk>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>
<Amazon-sdk>
Solution

  • Step #1: Create an amazon product flavor and a google product flavor

    Step #2: In app/src/amazon/AndroidManifest.xml, have your <uses-permission> element(s) that you only want for the Amazon Appstore, and (presumably) only have the code that uses that permission in the amazon source set as well

    Step #3: Upload the amazon build to the Amazon Appstore, and upload the google build to the Play Store
