My app was removed by Google because it used SMS and call log permissions, namely android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS
and android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
which I've removed from the AndroidManifest.xml file
Ater removing these permission from the manifest and related feature, I'm trying to update the app with an updated APK.
But in the google console's , when I hit the "check" button I get the error:
To modify this application, first create a new release by declaring the sensitive permissions.
Could you please let me know how to solve this problem ?
