I have a Rust application I compile for android using cargo apk build . I would like to arrange for the AndroidManifest.xml to include
<uses-permission android:name="com.oculus.feature.PASSTHROUGH" android:required="true" />but all my attempts have failed.
Stackoverflow's AI suggests using
[package.metadata.android] permissions = [ "com.oculus.feature.PASSTHROUGH" ]in my Cargo.toml, but that does not succeed. I have also tried
[[package.metadata.android.uses-permission]] name = "com.oculus.feature.PASSTHROUGH" required = "false"and
[[package.metadata.android.uses-permission]] "android:name" = "com.oculus.feature.PASSTHROUGH" required = "false"(that last one was based on modifying the cargo-apk source to derive serde::Serialize and outputting a modified manifest to see what it looked like)
None of the examples that come with the cargo-apk show how to declare permissions.
There is clearly a
#[serde(rename(serialize = "uses-permission"))] #[serde(default)] pub uses_permission: Vec<Permission>,field in the AndroidManifest struct of ndk-build . What is the proper technique to populate it so that my application can have access to the features I want?
