Release error is coming Check for errors on the Permissions Declaration Form (play store error)

Question

It is showing this error

here is my permissions

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

And I have done the dynamic permission thing. Still, I am getting this error.

Answer 1

I solved the problem this way. You might have an APK (alpha, beta or prod) with the non-permitted permissions.

• Step1: create a new release without the non-permitted permissions
• Step2: roll it over to Alpha
• Step3: roll it over to Beta
• Step4: roll it over to Production

Greetings!

I can now confirm this issue is fixed as of Jan 26, 2019 Asia Pacific Time.

Looks like the problem is currently affecting users who removed SMS and CALL_LOG from their app due to the new policy and also submitted the form. From yesterday these apps fails to update for the above error without giving any solution within the UI due to the fact that the app doesnt have those permissions anymore. Its clearly a bug in the store. I've tried via API and off course getting the same result:

{
  "code" : 403,
  "errors" : [ {
    "domain" : "androidpublisher",
    "message" : "Permission declaration is invalid because the declaration has not been accepted in the Play Console.",
    "reason" : "permissionDeclarationNotAccepted"
  } ],
  "message" : "Permission declaration is invalid because the declaration has not been     accepted in the Play Console."
}

I have a pipeline currently triggering each hour to see if this goes away. Its already more than 24 hours.
