What could possibly result in the following permissions being added to my generated aab/apk, when they arent visible in the Merged Manifest view in Android Studio Iguana/Jellyfish (release builds in both cases)?

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
