Unable to publish app in Google Play store due to Declare sensitive permissions


Recently I tried to publish an app in Google Play Store, but I am receiving the following error and my app is getting rejected every time.

enter image description here

I have removed all the SMS related permissions only basic permissions required are included in the app, and I have used some 3rd party libraries like PayPal, Payumoney. Please find the reference link below for more information regarding the updated Google Policy:

Solution

  • If you cannot disable adding this permission by a dependency you can explicitly remove it from merged manifest like this:

    <uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"
    tools:node="remove" />
