App asking for permissions that are not needed

I have made an app that includes in app purchases and ads but there is a problem. For some reason it asks for permissions that are completely unnecessary for the app to function. Here is a list of them:

Access to photos, media and files on your device
Make and manage phone calls
Access your contacts
Access this devices location

Why is this happening? These have nothing to do with the app itself and it would work fine without these. My major issue with this is that it could make people question the app and make it less likely for them to download it.

Is there any way to disable these requests for these permissions? Thanks in advance for any answers.

BTW this was all on an android device.

Hey man I know this is really old but I am having this exact word for word problem. Did you figure it out by any chance?

How I solved this problem.

Export as Gradle to Android Studio.

Go to yourproject> yourexportfolder> yourproject > build > intermediate > manifest-checker > debug

Open manifest.xml in Visual Studio.

Delete all permissions and save.

Sync your project in Android Studio.
