My tablet is unsupported for a react-native android app

Question

I am using a react-native android app. And my device is not supported because it does not have the required feature: android.hardware.telephony.

Yes, I do not have telephony in my tablet. But, I am not adding this required feature in my manifest. So, where exactly is react-native adding this required feature in the build? And how can I turn it off.

My manifest file is below.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.kalhatti.main"
    android:versionCode="5"
    android:versionName="1.5">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="16"
        android:targetSdkVersion="22" />

    <application
        android:name=".MainApplication"
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
      </activity>
      <activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />

    </application>

</manifest>

Thanks.

To allow the app to be installed in tablets, add the following to AndroidManifest:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />
