Where does the Permission "Send/receive information to/from the Internet" come from?

I created an analog watchface and uploaded it to the store as beta so that I can test the property settings.
It is based on the built in template Project->New->Watchface...

The store says that the watchface needs the permission "Send/receive information to/from the Internet", but I didn't set this intentionally and I did not implement anything like that.
Where does it come from and how can I remove that?

  • You'll see it in manifest.xml, and in eclipse, if you write click on the project, go to properties, then Connect IQ, clicking on configure app, there's a tab in the editor for permissions. In a watchface, it needed background permission to set comm permissions.

    Stange this is from a template (eclipse>file>new>connect iq project). Which version of the SDK? I just tried it, and nothing odd with permissions...

    Thanks for the answer.
    Yes, the communication permission is set in manifest.xml. I will remove it.

    Current SDK is 2.4.2. Maybe I created the Analog watchface with 2.3.4.
    I have set MinSDK version 1.2.0
