Why are permissions being automatically added to my AndroidManifest when including Google Play Services library

by

When you use

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'

This implies you are using every feature of Google Play Services, including location services. If you only need a particular API, you should be using the selective APIs.

In the case of ads, you can use solely:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.5.0'
