Description
As of version 7.1.9, the app requires system permissions for sync, which are not used.
Possible solutions
- remove ALL sync code and features and don't request the permissions. This would improve app privacy
- implement some sync features (like the calendar ? or other note apps ? or google account ?) that actually use those permissions. See #513

Research direction

The issue needs a decision between removing all sync code and permissions or implementing a sync feature that uses them; done is not defined until that direction is chosen.
