Qt will automatically add permissions to your application based on the 
modules you link, to avoid giving you mysterious crashes while you are 
testing your app.

Before going into production, edit your manifest and replace the lines

<!--%%INSERT_PERMISSIONS-->
<!--%%INSERT_FEATURES-->

with the permissions and features your application requires. At this 
point you will know which permissions are required, so you would 
probably want to do this as a standard step as you are preparing the 
manifest for the Play store.

We've improved the documentation for this in the upcoming release (5.3) 
to hopefully make it more clear.
