I am trying to upload an app to google play but keep getting this error:
Upload failed
You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which specifies an actions schema document in its manifest, but action schemas are not yet allowed. If you are part of a beta program, you need to have your developer account whitelisted.
Can somebody please explain what I am doing wrong? I have uploaded apps in the past, butn never come across this error before.
Here is my manifest file:

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.
Upload the APK or app bundle files for your app To do this, go to the App releases section from the left menu. You are given the option of the type of release. Production is the final release to submit a live version of your final app to the Google Play store.
The error message suggests that the error comes from the use of:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.actions"
android:resource="@xml/app_prefs" />
Did you add this recently? It looks like the use of Android actions are still under a whitelist.
