APK Expansion File

Hello. So my Android project exceeds the 50MB max and I am in the situation of having to use an "APK Expansion File" for the videos and some images included in my project (ref: http://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files.html#ZipLib and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11715855/steps-to-create-apk-expansion-file). NOTE: I have already done everything possible to make these files as small as they can be, and, yes, they must be included in the package and not pulled from the internet. I have gotten as far as adding the libraries to my project, but when I took the step of "Declaring user permissions" in my manifest file I suddenly have a couple dozen errors and don't know what to do next. My questions are: 1. Has anyone else gone through this process? If so, please share. 2. Why are the user permissions creating errors? 3. How do I reference the files from the plugins when they are moved out of the package to the APK Expansion File which is stored on the device's SD card?
