I've been using GCM for remote notifications for some time and it's working nicely. The only issue is that the APK is built from GMS requiring the GET_ACCOUNTS permission which some users question. It would look a lot nicer on install if it wasn't asking for this and apparently it's not really needed anymore.

I tried removing the permission using an APKTool to unpack remove the permission and repack (which works nicely), but after testing the notifications didn't go. So it DOES seem to require the permission, and I was on a device using Android 4.4 (that article says OSes older than 4.0.3 require GET_ACCOUNTS still).
Anyway, just wondering if anyone had any more knowledge on the subject, or if YoYo is even aware or has plans to remove this permission? Perhaps in GMS2?
Thanks,
Chris
