App Permissions Not Working Correctly

sensorium

Hello, I am having an issue regarding app permissions. My app requires one permission which is "write_external_storage." When I build it and run it locally on my phone it works as expected and I can see in the android application manager that it is requesting one permission. However, (and excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask this question) I have uploaded it to the Google Play store and when I download it from there are run it on my phone the app does not ask for any permissions. As a result I am not able to use the write_external_storage function that I need.

I have decompiled the .apk and I can see that in the manifest file it says:

also, it looks like it is targeting level 21 if that is relevant to the discussion:

android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

Thanks in advance!
