Allow CALL_PHONE permission on devices with no phone

My application uses the CALL_PHONE permission so that it can directly place calls. Making calls is not the main feature and the app is still useful without that ability. However, the Android store will filter-out my app if the user's device does not have telephony. How do I configure the app so that the user can find and download the app anyway?

I realize I could publish two apps. I would like to avoid that and keep my build & release process simpler.

Adding the CALL_PHONE permission will automatically include the telephony feature, which is what the market uses to filter out tablets. You'll need to make it optional by including the following in your manifest:

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