Here I have added the list that helped me to fix the same issue when I was faced.

1.) screenshots that you have added in Play Store store listing should not have user data.

2.) Change your api from http to https

3.) Privacy policy should be proper and you should mention proper information about why and how you are using user data. If you are
saving userdata in your server database you should that information
as well

4.) If you are using social media login you should add it in privacy policy (purpose of social media login).

5.) In login screen you should add read and accept privacy policy option.

6.) Make sure your server database is secured.

If still you are facing the issue if your app is in initial stage clear database data and then try once.
