  • Post your gradle code also or manifest file(in case of eclipse) – Ajeet Choudhary Jun 21 '17 at 07:25
  • error shown clear solution you just need to change version code in gradle (app) – Vishal Thakkar Jun 21 '17 at 07:26
  • Have you confirmed apk that you uploaded is new one itself. 1) Have you changed the version code and name 2) Are you using this READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_CONTACTS as run time permission? – Nivedh Jun 21 '17 at 07:31
  • No I have removed all run time permission as well in my new apk with verson code 2 that i am trying to upload – Honey Agarwal Jun 21 '17 at 07:38
  • Google has announced new policy if you are using READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_CONTACTS then you have to define your privacy policy URL.....check this https://developers.google.com/actions/policies/privacy-policy-guide#why_we_require_a_privacy_policy – Akash Jun 21 '17 at 07:50
  • But I dont have these permitions in my new apk neither in manifest nor programitically – Honey Agarwal Jun 21 '17 at 07:53
  • Is it because of Google Cloud Messaging and Google Analytics used in app that I am getting this message to include privacy policy.? – Honey Agarwal Jun 21 '17 at 10:09

You need to change the version of the app in Android Studio. You have already uploaded an apk file with version code 1.

Please refer to below screenshot. enter image description here

If you are still facing same issues, please try to clean and build the app once again and try to upload.

  • Sir I have already change my verson code to 2 in my gradle file – Honey Agarwal Jun 21 '17 at 07:40
  • Yes, for that I mentioned that if you have already changed the version, then please try to CLEAN and BUILD your project and generate apk once again and try to upload it. – Alok Gupta Jun 21 '17 at 07:44

Extracted Menifest File

I have already changed version code to 2 and version name to 1.1.0

This is the extracted manifest of apk I am uploading.

if you already changed the version code and version name from gradle (Module Level) file Then you need to build again release APK and then try to upload it
