Android app asking for "Phone" and "Device ID & call information" permissions

I'm working on getting an Android app into Google Play — currently I'm just trying to set up an internal testing phase.

When I click "Install", it's asking for "Phone" and "Device ID & call information" permissions, neither of which are needed. I think this permission request will stop many potential users installing the app.

Can I get rid of the requests for these permisssions? I don't see a way to do that in the "Permissions" section of my app's definition, nor can I find any documentation that mentions this.
