Should you ever decide to go with a command-line way, you can do

adb shell dumpsys package | awk -v RS='\n +Package' '/android\.permission\.CAMERA/{print $1}' | sed -e 's/\[//g' -e 's/\]//g' -e 's/Verifiers\://g' | tail -n +2 | while read line; do adb shell pm uninstall $line; done;

Replace adb shell pm uninstall $line with echo "adb shell pm uninstall $line" for a dry run / demo.

  • dumpsys package: list all the installed packages with their info
  • awk: finds the permission (mentioned in the command) in the output of previous command and list the package name corresponding to the permission (originally, by muru)
  • sed and tail: does some cleaning of bits and pieces of last output
  • while and do: while reads each line from the output and do does the job you tell it to, on each line

Dummy output (before beginning while)

You would need a *nix system, setup in PC and device connected to it in debugging mode.

For Windows users, this answer by Lucky may help.
