Developer Console content rating error

I have built an app and publish it on Google Play in Developer Console.
I was asked for select content rating, and the Everyone option was disabled and I got an error:

Some rating options have been disabled based on the content of your application

My application is only simple tool that control the WiFi adapter (show statistics and control it). So I dont know why the Developer Console deside that my app can't be published for everyone.

Is there any way how to fix it?

How do I change content rating on console?

Open Play Console and go to the App content page (Policy > App content). Under “Target audience and content” click Start.

How long does it take to review app console?

Standard publishing: Updates to existing apps are processed and published as soon as possible. By default, your app will use standard publishing. Certain apps may be subject to extended reviews, which may result in review times of up to 7 days or longer in exceptional cases.

What is the meaning of content rating?

Content ratings are used to inform consumers, especially parents, of potentially objectionable content that exists within an app. They also help filter or block your content in certain territories or to specific users where required by law, and determine your app's eligibility for special developer programs.

What happens if an app gets 1 rating?

What happens if an app gets a 1-star rating on the Google Play Store? However, even if the rating of an app falls to 1 star it is highly unlikely that it will be removed from Google Play store. “An app with 1 star rating will still be available for download even after it gets poor ratings.

From the Play Market Guidelines for the 'Everyone' Rating:

Everyone

    Applications in this category should not collect user’s location data or contain objectionable material. Applications should not share user content or include social features.

Do you have social features, or are you recording location data, or other data?

Double check the permissions you are requesting in your AndroidManifest.xml, as I expect the store is finding something in your app that enables location, or other data sharing (maybe you have READ_CONTACT, or another similar permission).

You can get details on the ratings at the following URL: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1075738?hl=en
