<uses-permission>
In some cases, the permissions that you request through <uses-permission> can affect how your application is filtered by Google Play.
If you request a hardware-related permission — CAMERA, for example — Google Play assumes that your application requires the underlying hardware feature and filters the application from devices that do not offer it.
To control filtering, always explicitly declare hardware features in <uses-feature> elements, rather than relying on Google Play to “discover” the requirements in <uses-permission> elements. Then, if you want to disable filtering for a particular feature, you can add aandroid:required="false"attribute to the <uses-feature>declaration.
For a list of permissions that imply hardware features, see the documentation for the <uses-feature> element.

<manifest>- DESCRIPTION:
- Requests a permission that the application must be granted in order for it to operate correctly. Permissions are granted by the user when the application is installed, not while it’s running.For more information on permissions, see the Permissionssection in the introduction and the separate Security and Permissions document. A list of permissions defined by the base platform can be found at
android.Manifest.permission.
