Is the READ_PHONE_STATE permission still required

[brien-crean]

Is the READ_PHONE_STATE permission still required for successful SDK registration? The comments in the sample app specify that this permission is used to access the Device UUID upon registration.

However this permission no longer returns a device UUID since Android 10 restricted access to non-resettable device identifiers. READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE is now required for that information.

Can READ_PHONE_STATE permission be removed from the dji-sdk-v5-aircraft Android Manifest in a future update? This permission triggers a request to give the app permission to 'Make and Manage Phone calls` which is quite concerning to users.

Agent comment from YIGUI LIU in Zendesk ticket #148456:

Dear Developer,

The MSDK v5 sample code no longer registers the READ_PHONE_STATE permission in the manifest, so it is not mandatory.

You can try not to include the READ_PHONE_STATE permission and check if MSDK v5 runs properly.

Best Regards,
