[dig22]

Application Relocated from PlayStore due to dangerous use of
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

Any resolution on this?

I'm in need of a good solution to address this matter too. My app has recently been rejected by Google. This is the message I got: "After review, we found that your app does not qualify for use of the requested permissions. In your permissions declaration form, you had indicated that your app is a default handler; however, we were unable to detect that capability in your app’s manifest."

I can propose a temporary solution to this by using InAppBrowser (Cordova Plugin) or Links within app by using the tel: prefix on links.

this.iab.create('tel:'+ <TELEPHONE NUMBER> , '_system');
OR
<a href="tel:<TELEPHONE NUMBER>:">Call : <TELEPHONE NUMBER></a>

which opens the Dialer with the number on phones.

NOTE : CordovaCallNumber should be uninstalled so it doesn't add the CALL_PHONE permission.
