Android

When the MAUI permission presets aren’t enough, you can declare Android-specific manifest permissions and hardware features directly.

Manifest Permissions

<ItemGroup>
  <AndroidManifestPermission Include="CAMERA" />
  <AndroidManifestPermission Include="ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
  <AndroidManifestPermission Include="READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" MaxSdkVersion="32" />
  <AndroidManifestPermission Include="WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" MinSdkVersion="19" MaxSdkVersion="28" />
</ItemGroup>

Metadata

Metadata	Required	Description
MinSdkVersion	No	Minimum Android SDK version for this permission
MaxSdkVersion	No	Maximum Android SDK version for this permission

Name Resolution

Short names like CAMERA are auto-prefixed with android.permission.. Fully qualified names with 3+ dot-separated segments are used as-is.

Generated Output

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:minSdkVersion="19" android:maxSdkVersion="28" />
</manifest>

Hardware Features

Declare required or optional hardware features:

<ItemGroup>
  <AndroidManifestFeature Include="CAMERA" />
  <AndroidManifestFeature Include="LOCATION.GPS" Required="true" />
  <AndroidManifestFeature Include="BLUETOOTH" Required="false" />
</ItemGroup>

Metadata	Required	Description
Required	No	Whether the feature is required (`true` or `false`)

Short names are auto-prefixed with android.hardware..

Generated Output

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.CAMERA" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.LOCATION.GPS" android:required="true" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.BLUETOOTH" android:required="false" />
</manifest>
