One or more recent point releases of the mobile app for Android now request access to the telephone. Why does Moodle need to make phone calls?
Hi,
the permission is not for making phone calls, are for read/write the call log see:

In any case we don't read/write the phone call log, it seems an issue in Android, see:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#READ_CALL_LOG
Note: If your app uses the READ_CONTACTS
permission and both your minSdkVersion
and targetSdkVersion
values are set to 15 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion
is 16 or higher.
We will try to fix that for the next release/version
